An Overview of the Turku Commercial Property Market

Turku's commercial premises market is led by two strong sectors: the technology industry, which has grown particularly around Kupittaa, and the maritime industry and shipbuilding, which employ thousands and generate a wide supplier network. Additionally, chemical and pharmaceutical industries are significant employers in Southwest Finland.

High-quality warehouse and production spaces are in short supply in the Turku region. Office space availability is more varied, and in particular, the Kupittaa area has developed strongly in recent years.

Types of Premises in Turku

Office premises

Turku’s office offerings are concentrated in three areas: the city centre, Kupittaa, and the Skanssi surroundings. In addition, office spaces are available across the city and neighbouring municipalities.

Key office districts:

• Kupittaa: Turku's leading technology hub. The Intelligate office towers, Turku Science Park and the university campus form a cluster focusing on expertise in IT, health, and finance sectors.
• City Centre: a diverse offering from street-level retail locations to modern office buildings, with good transport connections and services within walking distance.
• Skanssi: a business hub in the south-east part of the city, offering ample retail and office spaces, with easy accessibility by car.
• Itäharju and Linnanfältti: affordable alternatives outside the city centre

There is strong demand for quality office spaces in Turku, especially due to growth in the technology and IT sectors, and competition for good properties is intense.

Retail premises

Turku’s retail premises offer options both in the city centre and in commercial clusters outside the city. The Skanssi shopping centre and retail spaces in the Kupittaa area are in high demand.

Raisio's Kuninkoja is a significant commercial hub located near the Turku border, serving a large portion of the Turku region's shopping traffic. Kaarina's Krossi is also a well-established commercial area.

Warehouse and Production Facilities

The Turku region is a significant logistics area. Two ports, Turku and Naantali, together with an extensive road and rail network make the area a natural hub for both domestic and international freight traffic.

Key warehouse and production areas:

• Lauste and Muhkuri: production and warehouse areas closest to the city centre
• Itäharju: an established industrial area located along major transport routes.
• Raisio, along the bypass road: large warehouse and production halls with smooth goods traffic.
• Naantali: Karvetti industrial area near the harbour, particularly suitable for subcontractors to the marine industry.
• Kaarina and Lieto (Avanti): growing business areas along the ring road with excellent connections to Turku.

There is a clearly lower supply of high-quality warehouse and production spaces in the area than demand. If the need is urgent or the premises exceptionally large, it is advisable to begin the search well in advance.

Why is Turku a good choice for your company?

Turku combines a strong industrial heritage with a growing technology sector and is actively developing. Long-term visions for city centre development, construction of the Kupittaa and Itäharju science park area, and harbour area development projects demonstrate a city investing in its future.

The University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, and Turku University of Applied Sciences provide skilled labour. With port connections to Stockholm and other parts of Europe, Turku is a natural location for companies with important international links.
