Residential and business district on the waterfront

Now that the harbour operations have left Kalasatama, the area is is being developed to a centre of business and housing.

The beautiful maritime milieu is the perfect place to enjoy life, with effective public transport and a central location making Kalasatama an easily accessible work environment near the city centre. The transformation of a former gasometer in Suvilahti into a cultural centre adds further value to the area.
