The 27,500 sq m of rental space in the Urban Environment House office property will be spread over the ground floor and seven upper floors. A lobby, a café, exhibition areas and a restaurant are planned for the ground floor. The vendor and future tenant of the property is the City of Helsinki, which has signed a 20-year fixed lease for the entire building. The property is expected to receive a BREEAM rating of “Excellent” as proof of its high sustainability credentials and construction quality.

The Urban Environment House is being constructed in the Kalasatama submarket, an inner city development zone. Kalasatama subway stop is around 100 metres from the new building. The Urban Environment House development is one of the first office new builds to be constructed on the site. The urban character of the district is reflected in its mix of planned residential and retail properties.
