In Äänekoski, the construction of single-family houses and holiday apartments has picked up
In Äänekoski, more permits were applied for for single-family houses last year than in several years. Senior building inspector Arto Tavaststjernan according to the most significant factor was the sale of waterfront lots in the Kotakennas 2 area. - The best private plot areas at the moment are the plots in the Kotakennaä area, which also has two private beach plots, the land use manager of the city of Äänekoski Juha Koskinen comp.
Although the raw materials for construction have become more expensive, construction is now brisk. As many as 19 new detached houses were built in Äänekoski last year, while in the previous year 2020 there were seven and in 2019 eight.
- The corona era has also boosted the construction of small house dwellers. Now an exceptionally large number of courtyard buildings, saunas, terraces and summer kitchens have been built. The number of permits in 2021 is the highest in the last ten years, the building inspector of the city of Äänekoski Ville Vähatiitto says.
Äänekoski is also of interest to builders of holiday homes
In the city of Äänekoski, there are 150 plots for single-family homes constantly available. - Now, in addition to the plots in Kotakennaä, there are also good detached house plots, including beach plots, in Suolahti, in the Lehtorinte area and in Kukkoniemi in Sumiainte. We also have several good plots in Ääneniemi, Juha Koskinen describes.
The city of Äänekoski has lots of lots available for many kinds of construction. In addition to detached houses, the construction of holiday apartments has also increased. Last year, 15 building permits were applied for holiday apartments, while in 2020 eight were applied for and in 2019 six.
There is a good supply of business plots and the plots are versatile and suitable for many types of business. From the city of Äänekoski, you can get expert service for a company's smooth location in the area. Business and industrial plots are available in Hirvaskanka, Koukkuniemi and the new Kotakennai area. New ones are also constantly planned according to need and demand.
- In terms of industry and commercial construction, the number of permits varies quite a lot each year. Last year, a few small expansion permits were granted to the industry, Arto Tavaststjerna says.
- In general, it could be said that the demand for business plots is lively and the demand for private plots shows signs of picking up after a slightly quieter period, Juha Koskinen adds.

Electronic services speed up the service
In Äänekoski, Lupapiste's electronic transaction service and archiving was introduced in 2018, and at the end of last year the service was expanded at Lupapiste Kaupa. Lupapiste Kauppa is an online transaction service where you can buy building drawings stored in the building control archive.
