In 1870, Emperor Alexander II built a stone ‘castle’ in the busiest business district in Helsinki, originally as a Russian school for boys. Now, this historic building is renovated into a modern commercial and office building that offers unique possibilities for designing your premises. The assets of the site are the impressive entrance staircase, considerable room height, Viennese-inspired halls, and an incredible view.
After complete renovation, the historic site is a perfect location for the head office of a medium-sized business which appreciates a historic milieu and unique space solutions, or for a hybrid building for 3–6 users.
The site is equipped with modern building technology and space solutions that support mobile work. With its valuable setting, impressive façade, and additional floors the property offers fantastic opportunities to brand your own business. To the tenants, the central location guarantees the best local services and transport connections that the city has to offer.
