Kesko plans to have the new main office building and a K-food store in Ruskeasuo, Helsinki
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KESKO PRESS RELEASE 22.07.2015 AT 09.10 1(1)
Kesko plans to have its new main office building, the so-called 'K-kampus', in
Ruskeasuo, Helsinki by 2018. The new premises would accommodate the majority of
Kesko Group's functions in the Greater Helsinki area. The aim is also to open a
new K-food store on the same property. The area at the crossing of
Mannerheimintie and Hakamäentie streets in the Ruskeasuo district of Helsinki is
excellent for the Kesko personnel, Kesko's stakeholders and the planned K-food
store's customers alike in terms of both location and transport links.
Kesko's objective is to bring most of its functions in the Greater Helsinki area
together under one roof by 2018. The aim is to have a new office complex built
for use by Kesko in the so-called Manskun Rasti area to accommodate the
functions of Kesko's common operations, the grocery trade and the building and
home improvement trade in the Greater Helsinki area. A new K-food store would
also be opened in the building. The functions of Kesko's car trade, agricultural
and machinery trade, leisure trade, or those of the logistics company Keslog Ltd
are not planned to be transferred to the premises.
- Bringing Kesko personnel together on a common K-kampus underpins our strategy
of a more uniform Kesko and our objectives for efficient operations. It will
enable us to make better use of skills and cooperate across the divisional
boundaries, says President and CEO Mikko Helander.
Kesko has entered into a conditional cooperation agreement on the project with
Skanska. The final execution of the project is conditional on the decisions of
the authorities related to, among other things, land use planning and surrender
of land, that are prepared by the Real Estate Department and the City Planning
Department.
Kesko's main office building, located in Katajanokka, Helsinki, was completed in
1939. It is planned to be converted mainly to residential and hotel use.
