Commercial premises in Hakaniemi

Hakaniemi is a bustling commercial and traffic hub in central Helsinki, situated north of Pitkäsilta bridge by the seaside. The area is part of the Kallio district, where historic landmarks such as the market hall and market square stand alongside modern office buildings.

We offer office and retail premises throughout the Hakaniemi area as well as in the neighbouring districts of Kallio, Kruununhaka and Sörnäinen. Our service is completely free for tenants, as the landlord always pays the brokerage fee.

A brief overview of the Hakaniemi commercial premises market

Hakaniemi has emerged as one of Helsinki’s most interesting office districts outside the city centre. The renovation of the former Elanto department store and the Lyyra block built next to the metro station have introduced modern, environmentally certified commercial premises to the area. Alongside these are many older, often refurbished office and retail properties.

Demand is particularly focused near the metro station and Siltasaarenkatu, with good premises turning over quickly. The new residential blocks at Hakaniemenranta and the tramway of the Crown Bridges will strengthen the area's position going forward as well.

Types of Premises in Hakaniemi

Office premises

Office space availability is concentrated along Siltasaarenkatu and around the market square and metro station. The area includes entire floors in large office buildings such as Siltasaari 10, Lyyrä, and Ympyrätalo. Those seeking smaller premises can find options in Hakaniemi from both new and renovated buildings as well as older properties. For example, Siltasaari 10 houses Antiloop’s POOL concept, which provides small offices and flexible spaces. See more Available commercial premises on Siltasaarenkatu.

Rautatientori is two metro stops or about a fifteen-minute walk from Hakaniemi. The area is thus well suited for a company seeking a central city address with good connections but without the visibility of the city centre.

Retail premises

The heart of the retail market is Hakaniemi Market Square and the renovated Market Hall. The surrounding street-level premises benefit from heavy pedestrian traffic, metro station passenger flows, and nearby workplaces. There is ongoing demand for restaurant and café spaces as the area attracts office lunch customers, local residents of Kallio, and market visitors. The dense residential area at the beginning of Hämeentie also maintains strong demand for local services.

Warehouse and Production Facilities

Hakaniemi is a dense inner-city area, so storage and production spaces are scarce. Small storage units are mainly found in basements and yards of buildings. Larger warehouse spaces should be sought elsewhere. From Herttoniemi and Roihupelto or Pitäjänmäki area. See also Warehouse Facilities in Helsinki.

Why is Hakaniemi a good choice for your company?

Hakaniemi's strength lies in its accessibility. The metro station connects the area east and west; several tram and bus routes run through it, and the city centre is reachable on foot or by bike via the Pitkäsilta bridge. This also facilitates recruitment as staff can commute easily from various parts of the metropolitan area.

The market hall, square, restaurants, and hotels are within walking distance, making client meetings and lunches convenient. The rental rates are generally more moderate than in the city centre, yet the address remains within the inner city.

If no suitable space is found in Hakaniemi, there are many options in the nearby areas. See also Office premises available in Kalasatama and Sörnäinen., Commercial premises in Helsinki city centre and All commercial premises in Helsinki.
