• A second city centre at 3,5 km
distance from the old city centre.
• The idea is to turn Central Pasila into a new urban centre for
business, service and housing. It will be the
core area for enterprise and business development. There is
a cluster of national and commercial broadcasting media as well as digital
contents and services producers. Pasila Fair
Centre is also strongly expanding.
• An international competition will be launched to plan the main block
and landmarks in the centre.
• In the near future all trains to Helsinki will stop here. Subway will
stretch to Pasila and also a fast connection
to the airport will be constructed.
• The whole area of Pasila spreads on 167 hectares (Central Pasila 60
hectares and Ilmala Media City 27 hectares,
Old Factory Area (Konepaja) 15 hectares, Northern Pasila
65 hectares).
• The western side of the area borders on the Central Park, offering
good opportunities of inner city type housing
production – and excellent opportunities for nature exploring,
re-freshing and sports.
At present, Central Pasila is being dominated by the railway and rail yard. Once the rail yard has been moved elsewhere, a compact, functional and pleasant urban workplace, service and residential area will be built in the vacated site. Rail traffic shapes the identity of the district.
Helsinki Fair Centre is the largest fair and congress centre in Finland. New exhibition halls and a tower-like annex to the hotel are being planned in the Fair Centre area. A breathtaking view over the nearby sports park and the main railway line opens from the hotel tower.
Close-to-Nature apartment houses will be built in Ilmala, located in the northern part of Pasila. A view to the Central Park opens from the house balconies.
