Rail Baltica
Ülemiste station will be the location of Rail Baltica's Tallinn terminus, which is planned to open in 2030. High-speed trains on Rail Baltica will connect the three Baltic capitals to Poland using the new standard-gauge railway.[4][5]
An international competition was held to find a design for the new terminal with "Light Stream" by Zaha Hadid Architects being declared as the winner. The new "Linda" terminal will be directly linked to Tallinn Airport by a pedestrian bridge.[6][7]
On 21 May 2025, Rail Baltic Estonia signed a construction contract with an Estonian construction company. Construction of the terminal began in November 2025, and the building is scheduled to be in taken over by the railway company in October 2028.[8]
