OÜ Blauhaus

What OÜ Blauhaus does

OÜ Blauhaus is an Estonian private real estate development and property management company founded in 1999 and headquartered at Maakri 23 in Tallinn, with additional operations in Pärnu. The company develops, finances, and manages residential and commercial properties in prime Estonian locations including Tallinn Old Town, the Kadriorg district, and central Pärnu. Its portfolio comprises the heritage-protected Art Nouveau Birkhaus building at Maakri 23, the Mäekalda 13 luxury double-villa project in Kadriorg (2014), the Kullerkupu 13 residential development in Kangru (2014, all units sold), the Hommiku 3 service and retail centre in Pärnu (2001), and the Pikk 35 commercial premises in Tallinn Old Town.

The business generates revenue through two primary streams: one-time property sales of developed residential and commercial assets, and recurring rental income from owned commercial properties (mainly Birkhaus, which houses dry cleaning, hairdressing, legal, cooking class, and massage tenants). A subsidiary, OÜ Gelato Ladies, operates an Italian artisan gelato café renovated by Blauhaus in 2016 at Uus 28/1 in Tallinn Old Town, adding a small F&B revenue stream. The company is wholly owned by the Habermeyer family, with additional capital sourced from family members and project-specific bank financing; share capital stands at 3 million EUR following a 2014 increase tied to a 2013 merger with affiliate OÜ Maakri Keemiline Puhastus and a complete business model re-profiling.

Operations are led by Katrin Püssa in Estonia and Ernst Anton Friedrich Habermeyer in Germany, and the company maintains membership in the Estonian-German Chamber of Commerce covering Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The technology footprint is minimal: a multilingual WordPress website, GDPR compliance, and no proprietary platform or disclosed AI/data capabilities. Go-to-market is primarily direct, project-based sales supported by the website and chamber networking, with no institutional investors, venture capital, or external funding rounds disclosed.
