Hi there,

As a part of a larger project, I am currently investigating projects in Finland. Do you know any recent large-scale projects built on or next to railway stations in there?

For my research the following criteria are important: total costs of 100 Million Euro+, location at or near major rail stations, in cities of more than 100.000 inhabitants, built in the past 20 years (or under construction or at least approved).

Links to external sources (like news articles) are most welcome!

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Central Pasila is the biggest one. The Central station at Helsinki has had some development in and around it (Sanomatalo, Parliament annex etc.), but most of it doesnt really have to do with the station itself.

The city of Tampere is in the process of building a new in-door arena near the railway station. Daniel Libeskind is supposed to be involved somehow. That project also includes a hotel and some offices and whatnot. Here are a couple of pics:
