Step out your front door and… you’re greeted by a calm, green courtyard—not asphalt and parked cars.
Kotzebue Park is Kalamaja’s last fully car-free block: a place where traffic noise gives way to birdsong.
Cars haven’t disappeared; they’ve simply been moved out of sight, into an underground garage—so you can step straight indoors, dry-shod.
A green haven in the heart of Kalamaja
Maybe you’ve strolled through a European city where flowers bloom between buildings and streets belong to people, not cars—and wondered why you see that so rarely in Tallinn. Kotzebue Park was created to bring exactly that feeling to the very heart of Kalamaja.
The inner courtyard is a green breathing space where light, nature and architecture create a sense of calm. Soft lawns, planters and ornamental grasses frame meandering footpaths lined with benches and shaded nooks. It’s a place to read, sip coffee, work in the fresh air—or simply listen to the city breathe.
Kotzebue Park is a pocket garden-city within the city. It’s Kalamaja at its best: human-scale, warm and alive.
Courtyard highlights
– Layered greenery with generous seating
– Planters, evergreens and ornamental plantings for privacy
– Cosy terraces and bright lounging areas
– Footpaths that flow naturally through the block
– Ambient lighting for relaxed evenings
By bike, on foot or by scooter—everything’s close
The area around Kotzebue Park proves that car-free living doesn’t mean giving up convenience. On the contrary: car-free is the new luxury. Not everyone gets to have work, school, the market, the gym and the sea all within walking distance.
Here, days begin differently—walk the kids to kindergarten, cycle to work, and in the evening wander to a café or down to the waterfront. Everything you need is just a few steps away. A green promenade starts in the courtyard and leads you into the city centre and to the sea. Balti Jaam Market is a 3-minute walk, Telliskivi Creative City 5 minutes, and Kalarand beach 10 minutes.
For cyclists
– Bike racks at every building
– Ground-floor bicycle storage rooms
– Cycle routes straight to Balti Jaam and the waterfront

A safer childhood
Remember carefree days playing outside with friends? Kotzebue Park brings that back. A car-free courtyard means children can play and roam without parents worrying about traffic.
A shared park also means neighbourhood friends to play with—just like it used to be. Parents of little ones and pet owners will love the easy loops for daily walks.
Designed with families in mind
– Kalamaja Primary School and Gustav Adolf Grammar School are both an easy walk away
– Warm stroller rooms right by the building entrances
– Playgrounds and parks just minutes away
Cars where they belong—underground
Does that make Kotzebue Park anti-car? Not at all. Cars are simply placed where they make the most sense—underground.
All parking is in a convenient underground garage, with EV charging available. Residents can access their cars directly by lift—dry, quick and comfortable—while the ground level remains quiet, green and peaceful.
For your car
– Underground garage directly beneath the building
– Electric-vehicle charging points
Kotzebue Park — made for modern living
Kotzebue Park is a forward-looking development that understands the Kalamaja dream: to live in the city centre and still feel like you’re in a leafy garden town. It blends nature, privacy and a sense of security—true to Kalamaja’s spirit.
