By GlobalDataThe construction and renovation work are slated to commence this year. The entertainment centre is expected to be completed in 2023.
The project will entail an investment of around €30m, of which €19.5m is the value of the project management contract.
Kulttuurikasarmi will house three new screens for BioRex Cinemas; a large indoor event space with terraces, the glass pavilion and a variety of restaurants and bars operated by NoHo Partners.
SRV Helsinki Metropolitan Area Business Premises senior vice president Jouni Forsman said: “We’ll be carrying out the basic renovation of a building of cultural-historical value with respect for its Origins.
“At the same time, we’ll be creating a brand-new kind of lifecycle-wise urban structure in which we can make better use of the space surrounding the building, which is particularly valuable as the city becomes more densely built-up.
“We’ve previously carried out equally large-scale basic renovations and repurposing in other buildings, such as the University of Helsinki’s Think Corner and Kaisa House.”
