Helsinki is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in Europe. Its location at the intersection of East and West makes it an attractive region for companies to expand their business.
This is Helsinki
Helsinki, Finland - a dynamic and expanding European metropolis
An Expanding City
The dynamic development phase has started
The new development projects will create approximately 100,000 residences and tens of thousands of jobs, many of them in beautiful waterfront locations and close to the city centre. An excellent public transport system will be extended to these new areas and ecological viewpoints have been considered throughout.
High-quality Housing
Helsinki is an attractive place to live
Helsinki offers its residents suitable housing for different life situations in a healthy, safe and comfortable environment. New city districts will be built along with infill development to be undertaken in old city districts in order to attract new residents.
Where are we?
Helsinki, Finland is easy to get to
With most European cities less than a three-hour flight away, Helsinki is also situated fewer than eight hours by air from New York and some nine-and-a-half from Tokyo. Furthermore, St. Petersburg is only a short trip of less than an hour’s flying time from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
New areas for business and living
In the forthcoming decades, Helsinki will expand faster than ever before, with the construction of a variety of apartments, offices, kindergartens, schools, parks, streets and recreation areas. The City of Helsinki aims to build quality neighbourhoods where people can enjoy both work and leisure. The recent construction of a new cargo harbour in a different location some distance away from the city centre has provided the opportunity to develop the site of the former old port and railway yard area for other uses, radically altering the appearance of Finland’s capital.
Overlooking the beautiful open sea, the modern precinct of Jätkäsaari is currently under construction on a southern peninsula recently vacated by a cargo port – only minutes away from the centre of Helsinki.
Now that the harbour operations have left Kalasatama, the area is being developed to a centre of business and housing. The beautiful maritime milieu is the perfect place to work and enjoy life.
Pasila is located in the main intersection of public transportation in the Helsinki metropolitan area and, in fact, the whole of Finland.
The eastern shore of Kruunuvuorenselkä provides a magnificent location for the new district of Kruunuvuorenranta.
Viikki is a cosy residential area where the city, the countryside, science and nature meet. The area’s ecologically conscientious house building has been nationally and internationally recognised.
Located in eastern Helsinki by the metro line, Myllypuro is known for its excellent sports facilities. A host of new houses, including an urban village built of wood, will be constructed in the area.
With the construction of a number of new districts around town, the City of Helsinki is placing great emphasis on providing leisure activities to enhance the lives of all future residents.
The transformation of Helsinki’s old ports and railway yards is providing exciting opportunities for construction companies, investors and for businesses in need of modern premises in excellent locations.
The efficient use of energy and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is an extremely important consideration in the planning of new areas in Helsinki, and also with developing the public transport system.
