Plans are underway for the construction of the Horisontti skyscraper in Kalasatama, Helsinki, Finland. Reportedly, Finnish construction contractor SRV has negotiated with property investment company Niam to build the first-of-its-kind office skyscraper.
Speaking on the project, SRV CEO and President Saku Sipola said: “It’s great to be able to start up the construction of this project with Niam. This has happened after a protracted period of joint development. The recent launch of Horisontti demonstrates that even in the current market environment, there is a need for a novel tower construction concept in the commercial real estate market.
Antti Muilu, country manager for Niam, added: “We are delighted to acquire Kalasataman Horisontti. Together with SRV, we will support the transition to more environmentally friendly building development. This is in addition to sustainable property ownership.”

They will therefore satisfy users’ functional and qualitative needs both now and in the future. The project’s location will further provide tenants and guests with a distinctive experience and a reason to visit the business.
