Renewal of a commercial office building in Helsinki centre

The aim of the project is to develop an office building that meets today’s requirements and offers an attractive working environment in a valuable location that is currently underutilized. The building, which is to be renovated and expanded, will be designed to be flexible in terms of space and building services solutions in order to meet the requirements set for modern, high-quality downtown office space. The aim is to meet strict environmental targets and support the building users’ own environmental responsibility programs. The goal is to apply for LEED Platinum certification for the building.

The building to be renovated has six above-ground floors and two underground basement floors. The extension will be built as a wing in the courtyard and by raising the height of the building. The ground floor will house restaurant or commercial space, as well as office entrance, lobby, and meeting rooms. The office space will be located on floors 2–7.

The project supports sustainable property ownership and development. The existing building structure will be extensively utilized, while new exterior envelope structures and building services systems will improve the building’s energy efficiency, usability, and recognizability. In addition, surface materials and stone partition structures that are to be demolished will be reused in the project.

Sarc + Sigge is acting as the main and architectural designer for the renovation and extension project. We have already drawn up a reference plan for a change to the site plan.

The client for the project is S-Pankki Properties, and the main contractor is Peab Oy. The DNB Group has been confirmed as the main user, concentrating all its Finnish operations in the property.

The renovated property will have a gross floor area of 9,250 square meters and will be completed in the fall of 2027.
