Kanavaranta 1 is an office building designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1962 as the Enso-Gutzeit headquarters. Known as the 'Sugar Cube', it is one of Finland’s most famous office buildings. Situated at the corner of Helsinki’s Market Square, the building has been offered to the rental market for the first time in its history after serving as headquarters for the same company for six decades. A comprehensive renovation was carried out in the 2010s, renewing the façades, building services, and interiors. Every detail, including furniture and lighting, was originally designed by the architect and his office, with some of these features still in use. Light tunnels and staircases connect different floors, and the office floors have an open-plan layout without load-bearing partitions, making the building suitable for multiple tenants. The property includes both passenger and goods lifts.

The building's services cover the needs of a working day: lobby service, lunch restaurant, and social facilities, with a rooftop terrace adjacent to the restaurant offering views over the sea and the city. The Market Square, Old Market Hall, and city centre amenities are right beside the property, and surrounding blocks feature numerous restaurants and hotels for business visitors.

The location on the shore of the South Harbour is one of the most prestigious in Helsinki. The tram stop is approximately 300 metres away and the train station about 1.3 kilometres. The city centre services and stations are reachable on foot within a few minutes. The property offers rentable parking spaces, an electric vehicle charging point, and a bicycle parking area.

The property has been awarded the BREEAM In-Use Excellent environmental certification.
