Peetri Street Factory Set for Demolition as New Development Proceeds Tartu’s Peetri Street is facing significant change as the former industrial area, historically home to multiple factories, prepares for demolition. The development is driven by plans for a new residential and commercial quarter being undertaken by real estate developer Reterra. The area, previously occupied by the G&H Lellep metal factory during the pre-war period and the Võit tractor factory in the Soviet era, is now slated for demolition. This decision follows a recent architectural competition won by OÜ Apex Architectural Office’s design, titled “Lellepi Quarter,” which will form the basis of the new development. While the exact timeline for the demolition remains undetermined, the project represents a substantial transformation of the Peetri Street landscape. The existing factory buildings will be removed to make way for modern housing and commercial spaces. The redevelopment aims to create a mixed-use area within Tartu, incorporating both residential and retail offerings. Authorities have not yet announced a specific date for the commencement of the demolition process.
