Kruunuvuorenkatu 2

In the historic surroundings of Katajanokka, the former headquarters of Kesko has been transformed into a distinctive modern residential building. An extensive renovation completed in 2019 converted the property into high-quality urban homes while respecting its original architecture and heritage. The building comprises 120 apartments, combining contemporary design with carefully considered finishes.

One of the property's highlights is its excellent selection of communal facilities. The top-floor sauna area and terraces offer impressive views across the city, creating a wonderful setting for relaxation. Residents also have access to a club room, communal laundry and storage for outdoor equipment. Parking spaces are available to rent in the building's own garage, including spaces with electric vehicle charging facilities.

Everyday shopping is particularly convenient, with a K-Market supermarket located in the building itself. Katajanokka's atmospheric streets are also home to restaurants, cafés and other local amenities. A tram stop is just around the corner, while central Helsinki's extensive selection of shops and services is within walking distance.

The coastal surroundings add a distinctive character to the neighbourhood. Nearby waterfront paths are ideal for outdoor activities, while Allas Sea Pool, just a short walk away, offers swimming and sauna experiences with beautiful sea views. A dog park directly opposite the property is convenient for residents with pets. The University of Helsinki's City Centre Campus is also less than a kilometre away, making the location particularly appealing to students and those working in central Helsinki.

Katajanokka is known especially for its magnificent tourist attraction, the Uspenski cathedral, which stands high on top of a hill next to the Market Square (Kauppatori).

The coastal, high-profile residential area of Katajanokka is located in southern Helsinki on the city’s east shore and close to the comprehensive services of the city centre. The ferries to Sweden pass by and the historical buildings of the Suomenlinna island can be seen in the horizon. Katajanokka’s nickname Skatta is derived from the area’s Swedish name Skatudden.
