In this way, we will be able to develop the real estate management industry together to offer customers an even higher quality service,” says Ulla Nikkanen, MD of Azets Finland.

Locality and community at the center of future real estate management services
A significant factor in the acquisition was the consistency of the companies' strategy and values - reliability, responsibility and collaboration are the most important values of both.
“Rantamäki and Astala have been operating side by side for decades, offering real estate management services to properties located in Helsinki who appreciate the high-quality service. Our goal is to be the most attractive employer in the real estate management sector and a trendsetter showing how real estate management should be done and properties managed,” says Mika Laakkonen, MD of Rantamäki.
Both companies’ services include comprehensive real estate management services and technical services as well as extensive value-added services. Strong partnership thinking guides their way of working.
