The city aims at opening the urban space in the North-Western direction, at reconditioning the area by creating a safe high-quality living environment with the required infrastructure and at enlivening the city by adding new green areas.

The site is located on the Kopli peninsula, 5 kilometers from the Tallinn Old Town and the city centre. The peninsula is a part of Kopli district and offers several activities related to both the harbour and the residential areas near the Kopli coast and the Paljassaare bay. The area is historically known as 'Kopli Lines' by the locals.

The railway tracks running between Kopli Street and the coast divide the territory into two, which because of the different altitude are called the Upper and the Lower part respectively. The Upper part is tightly connected to Kopli Street and the buildings there overlook the Paljassaare bay. The Lower part is a beach area with the outlook at the Paljassaare bay.

The city intends to find a developer, who would develop the Kopli Strand residential area, including infrastructure facilities (roads, water supply and sewerage system, recreational areas, green areas etc) for the whole project area.

The site area of the Kopli Strand development project covers approximately 16.7 ha. The volume of the land lease construction area is ca 56,500 m²

According to the adopted detail plan up to 5-storey apartment houses with ca 527 apartments and 38 single-family houses can be constructed in the area.
