Liisankatu 1

There is a total of 3600 m² of rentable space, with approximately 1200 m² per floor. The floors can be divided for two users into sections of about 550 m² each. These facilities are ideally suited for office, care, accommodation, or educational use. Users now have an excellent opportunity to design their own premises.

Uudenmaan Kasarmi is a classical red-brick barracks complex completed in 1883, located in Kruununhaka, Helsinki, at the edge of the maritime city centre. Designed by architect Evert Lagerspetz, the building is a significant architectural part of Helsinki's history. It was originally built as the barracks for the Uusimaa Sharpshooter Battalion and has later housed, among others, the National Defence University and the Military Museum.

Kasarmi is undergoing phased refurbishment for new use. The building facing Liisankatu street is being developed into high-quality commercial premises for companies, as well as private and public sector users, with spaces customised in cooperation with tenants. The renovation preserves key architectural features and load-bearing structures, giving the premises a unique appearance and distinguished atmosphere. Simultaneously, building systems will be upgraded and energy efficiency improved. The refurbishment is expected to be completed by Q3 2027.

A seaside location, parks, and waterfront routes create a work environment rarely found in the city centre. Helsinki Central Railway Station is approximately a 15-minute walk, the University of Helsinki about 5 minutes, and government administration and ministries are nearby.

Services of Kruununhaka and the city centre are within walking distance. The nearby area offers grocery stores, cafes, lunch restaurants and a hotel, with a broad range of downtown services easily accessible. Kruununhaka’s parks and Pohjoisranta’s waterfront routes provide opportunities for outdoor activities and refreshing breaks during the workday.

Helsinki Central Railway Station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, and the Kaisaniemi and University of Helsinki metro stations are within walking distance. The nearby area is served by numerous tram and bus lines. The under-construction Kruunusillat light rail line will enhance connections between the city centre and eastern Helsinki in the coming years, while clear pedestrian routes provide easy access to the city centre.

The refurbishment is carried out in accordance with LEED and WELL standards. The building's HVAC systems will be upgraded, and energy efficiency improved to meet the requirements of a modern working environment. Structural refurbishment preserves existing load-bearing structures and the building’s key architectural features.
