5 reasons why companies move to Pitäjänmäki in 2025

Pitäjänmäki has long been known as an industrial and office area, but in 2025 it will be reprofiled as a dynamic and attractive working environment. Companies are looking for premises that support modern work, responsibility and employee well-being, and Pitäjänmäki meets this need. Here are five compelling reasons why more and more companies are choosing this western part of Helsinki as their home base.

1. Excellent accessibility by all means of transport

Pitäjänmäki is one of the most accessible business areas in the capital region. The train journey from the centre of Helsinki takes only 10-15 minutes, and the new Raide-Joker (line 15) will bring smoother cross-country connections from East Helsinki to Espoo. Bus stops can be found on almost every street corner, and for motorists, the Ring Road I and Vihdintie provide fast connections to different parts of the metropolitan area.

The Front is right at the heart of these connections: just 350 metres from the express train station, 800 metres from Huopalahti Station and 50 metres from the bus stop. The location makes the commute smooth for everyone, whether you’re travelling by car, bike or public transport.

2. A dynamic working environment and a fast start-up framework

Location and quality of workplace are increasingly important for workers. At Pitäjänmäki, it is easy to combine a smooth everyday life, accessibility and a pleasant working day. Modern offices in the area, such as The Front, provide a ready-made framework for efficient working and a quick start.

The Front’s facilities are ready to use and easily adaptable to your business needs. This allows for quick relocation and uninterrupted business continuity without lengthy construction or interior design projects.

At the same time, services such as an in-house café, restaurant, office bikes, massage and car wash make the job more attractive and increase the attractiveness of the workplace for recruitment. Well-paid staff are more engaged and stay longer.

3. The region is developing strongly

Several urban development projects are underway in Pitäjänmäki. New housing, offices and services are being built at an accelerating pace, and the overall appearance of the area is becoming more modern, vibrant and attractive. The growing population base is creating more customers and employees for businesses.

The Front is a good example of the development of the area, a completely renovated office building that brings international quality and service levels to Pitäjänmäki. At the same time, it is part of the city’s green and responsible growth.

4. Modern and responsible premises support the future of work

In today’s working life, office space is about more than square footage – it has to be smart, comfortable, flexible and environmentally responsible. The Front has achieved LEED Platinum environmental certification, which means the highest standards in energy efficiency and environmental impact management.

Electric car charging points, energy management systems and excellent indoor air conditions are just a glimpse. At The Front, sustainability is a tangible reality, and tenants can also raise their own sustainability profile by choosing a sustainable property.

5. Holistic well-being and services take everyday life to a new level

In Pitäjänmäki, you don’t just work efficiently, you also have fun. The Front brings a top hotel-like level of service to the working environment: its own café (Frontyard Cafe), a high-quality lunch restaurant (Food Garden), massage services, office bikes, laundry services and even a car wash. Meeting facilities are technically state-of-the-art, and there are also event and leisure facilities such as wine tastings,chef -evenings and tyky days.

All this improves the employee experience, makes everyday life smoother and makes returning to the office a meaningful experience, even in the era of hybrid working.

Summary

Pitäjänmäki is no longer just a centre for logistics and industry, but an evolving, responsible and service-oriented business area where success is possible. The Front sums up this transformation: modern premises, strong service offerings and an excellent location make it an attractive choice for growing and ambitious companies.

Join the change – the next success stories will be written in Pitäjänmäki.
