Pasila – the most accessible location in Finland

Tripla offers companies and their personnel commercial and office premises that will facilitate their daily life . The key aspect of Tripla ’ s appeal is its location .

Pasila is the logistical hub of Helsinki and easily accessible using just about any means of transport . It brings tracks , roads , cycling lanes , bus service and the connections to the airport together in a single location .
“ Tripla ’ s location at the junction of major railways and near the most important airport in the country will ensure that there will be tenants in the premises twenty years from now . However , this is only a small part of the whole appeal of the premises ,” remarks Teemu Haataja , Sales Director at YIT .
Demand is moving towards Tripla
Mall of Tripla offices will be complete in spring 2020 . YIT is currently seeking tenants for this modern working environment encompassing around 50,000 square metres . The prospective tenants are expected to be willing to build a good everyday life and to exhibit strong growth in order to be able to enter the national or international market .
“ Tripla is a unique working environment not only in the metropolitan area but also in the whole Finland . There is no other operating environment that has such a central location in terms of growth and that combines every imaginable daily service with such a superb location and opportunities for networking ,” Haataja comments .
In his assessment , the decision that Otavamedia made in October is an excellent indication of the appeal of Tripla ’ s premises . At the same time , it is a good example of how the demand for business premises is shifting from the city centre to the northern downtown area with excellent transport connections .
