A Brief Overview of the Tampere Commercial Property Market

The office premises market in Tampere has seen active development in recent years. The tram has densified urban structure and increased the attractiveness of the city centre and nearby areas as office locations. Demand for warehouse and production facilities has remained strong, reflecting a continuous need in logistics and manufacturing sectors.

The Tampere economic area also covers nearby municipalities. Nokia, Ylöjärvi, Pirkkala, Lempäälä and Kangasala offer numerous options, particularly for larger warehouse and production facilities.

Types of premises in Tampere

Office premises

There is a wide selection of office spaces available in Tampere. The city centre is traditionally a strong office district, where rental levels are highest and demand is steady. Properties along the tram line are particularly sought after due to their excellent accessibility directly impacting recruitment.

Key office districts:

• City centre: highest profile, best services nearby, impressive commercial buildings
• Hatanpää: excellent transport connections, plenty of modern office space
• Hervanta: technology companies, Tampere University Hervanta campus, more affordable pricing level
• Kauppi: area around the university hospital and Kauppi campus, companies in health and wellbeing sectors

Finlayson's factory area is also a popular office location. The area combines atmospheric industrial heritage, numerous companies in one place, and excellent amenities within walking distance.

Retail premises

The retail premises stock in Tampere is diverse. The city centre’s ground-floor commercial premises, Koskikeskus, and Ratinan Shopping Centre form the commercial core, while Tullintori has evolved especially towards businesses providing quick services.

Outside the city centre, there are strong commercial areas such as Lielahti, Lakalaiva, Koilliskeskus and Hervanta. Pirkkala’s Partola is a significant commercial sub-centre located near the Tampere border. Ground floor premises suitable for restaurant and café use occasionally become available both in the centre and in the shopfronts of residential districts.

Warehouse and Production Facilities

Tampere and its surroundings offer a wide range of warehouse, logistics and production spaces. Demand has exceeded supply, and new construction has partially addressed the situation.

Key warehouse and production areas:

• Nekala and Sarankulma: a diverse industrial area close to the city centre.
• Messukylä: production and warehouse spaces nearest to the town centre, with good highway connections
• Kolmenkulma: On the borders of Tampere, Ylöjärvi and Nokia, the largest business area in the region, suitable for heavier industrial activity.
• Lakalaiva and Myllypuro: logistics hubs along the southern bypass road
• Pirkkala and airport area: a modern logistics and production zone adjacent to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport

Lempäälä has also grown in importance as a logistics location. The RealPark area along the Helsinki–Tampere motorway has attracted several major operators.

Why is Tampere a good choice for your business?

Tampere has repeatedly emerged as the most desirable city in Finland to live and work. The population base is strong and growing, skilled workforce is available, and the city is developing actively. With over 260,000 residents as well as a university and university of applied sciences, Tampere is a natural choice for a company seeking growth outside the Helsinki metropolitan area.

The tram network, motorway connections and the airport together form an efficient transport infrastructure for both personnel and goods transportation.
