KATAJANOKAN LAITURI
Companies and hotel
New flagship of Finnish architecture
Katajanokan Laituri is a building that will house the head office of the Stora Enso company and a hotel, and serve as a meeting place for city dwellers and service providers in one of Helsinki’s finest locations. The business property will become a masterpiece of Finnish wood construction.
The area has a history spanning hundreds of years as a busy junction of harbour operations and passenger traffic.
