Helsinki calls for proposals to transform Makasiiniranta port into cultural precinct
The city of Helsinki has launched a competition to create a new waterfront cultural and leisure district on the South Harbour, which will include a design and architecture museum complex.
The Makasiiniranta area is the last remaining section of old harbour cut off from public use and is currently home to terminals and parking.
Top: the design will be built on an 83,000-square-metre site. Above: it will be located on the right bank of the port
The City of Helsinki is looking for proposals from construction and real estate industry operators to turn the area into a cultural heart for Helsinki that activates the seafront while creating new public realms, amenities and architectural layers.
