• A pleasant, close-to-the-nature
residential area will be built in an area to
be vacated by oil tanks.
• Unique views from the shores to beautiful archipelago landscapes,
to historical Suomenlinna sea fortress and the centre
of Helsinki only 3 kilometres away.
• Some 1 000 different jobs –
mainly for service sector areas
– will be established here.
• Schools, day-care centres, sports facilities, beach and marinas will be constructed.
• Also a tram and pedestrian bridge connection from the city centre is under consideration. Using the bridge, the travel time to the centre of Helsinki is 20 minutes.
A new seaside district, Kruunuvuorenranta, will be built in the next decade opposite the city centre, on the eastern shore of Kruunuvuorenselkä open sea. A splendid view opens towards the sea and Helsinki city centre.
The location of the district in an archipelagian seascape on a peninsula projecting into the sea is of exceptional beauty. The presence of the sea can be sensed everywhere. The shore can be reached by foot in a few minutes. The district offers excellent opportunities for boating, fishing and other maritime recreations.
The future Kruununvuorenranta is a kaleidoscopic seaside city of the 2000’s, consisting of different high-rise and low-rise blocks. The construction will be adjusted to the topographically altering terrain, and the highest rocks are left intact. The district is linked to the city centre with a tramline which will cross the bay via a bridge.
The buildings in the southern part of Kruunuvuorenranta, Canal City, are located along the canal. There will also be houses with private waterfronts and even floating homes.
