Pakilantie 17 is located in the leafy environment of a well-established residential area. The building consists of two separate parts connected by a tall staircase with a glass ceiling and a lift. Located closer to the street, section A was built in the 1960s and has now been fully renovated. Section B on the other side is a brand new building. There is a wide range of apartment sizes from efficient studios to two-bedroom family homes. There are units facing all directions, and the views vary from plenty of greenery to the light-filled, lively street scene. The car parking spaces on the grounds feature a lovely green living roof. On the whole the property echoes the 1960s style of construction. The two sauna sections, laundry room and storage spaces as well as the shared play and relaxation area can be enjoyed by all residents.

The apartments as well as the entire building, including outdoor areas, are non-smoking zones.
