Plans have been drawn up for the creation of business premises covering about 660,00 square metres of total floor space in Viikki and Kivikko.
The Latokartano workplace area is situated by the Lahdenväylä motorway and the Kehä I ring road. The plots of land, the total floor space of which will be 40,000 m2, are owned by the City of Helsinki and the Parish Union. The location will be excellent in terms of traffic connections once the new interchange to the Kehä I ring road is completed.
There are still plots of land adding up to about 100,000 m2 of total floor space allocated for businesses available in the science park. These plots of land are, for the most part, owned by the Finnish state. The City of Helsinki owns the Business Park area, which city planners have already decided will be located by the Pihlajistonkuja lane.
The last plot of land in the workplace area in Viikinmäki is being constructed. Two plots of land have been set aside for office buildings by the Lahdenväylä motorway in the western part of Viikinmäki. Also located in the area is the Viikinmäki water purification plant, which serves Helsinki and the surrounding municipalities. The workings of the plant take place inside a section of hollowed-out bedrock.
Building of workplace areas in Kivikko will be concentrated by the Lahdenväylä motorway, where a new area of 2,000 places of work will emerge. The first business premise projects have already been completed. The building of the municipal engineering infrastructure as well as the pre-construction of the plots is ongoing.
