The floor area of the centre is to total around 86,000 square metres, of which Elanto and Kesko, the two main participants in the project, have both reserved a floor area of around 16,000 square metres for department stores and speciality stores. The leisure centre is planned to include a cinema centre among other things.
The owner group is to be formed of Aleksia, the Finnish Local Government Pensions Institution, Employment Pension Fund and Eläke-Fennia. The premises are to be constructed by NCC Puolimatka and Skanska, which have participated in the development of the project.
The city officials of Helsinki and Espoo have expressed their satisfaction at the progress of the project. Related matters are to be taken to the city councils during the autumn of 1999.
Construction work is planned to start as early as in the year 2000.
