By City of Tallinn | 13 September 2025

The Tallinn Urban Planning Department has initiated the detailed planning process for the properties at Paljassaare tee 5 and 7 and the surrounding area in Põhja-Tallinn, creating the conditions for the comprehensive implementation of the film stuudio complex Tallinn Film Wonderland.

Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning Madle Lippus noted that this is an important decision for the future of the Paljassaare district. “Although this man-made peninsula is currently still largely an industrial landscape, the initiated planning provides an opportunity to bring new development potential to Tallinn through the construction of the film studio complex and the supporting infrastructure,” she said.

The planning area covers approximately 7 hectares. The goal is to create a new identity and development potential for the district, including the construction of a world-class film studio.
