Itäkeskus (Swedish: Östra centrum, literal translation East center) is a quarter in the neighbourhood of Vartiokylä (as of the 1980s) in Helsinki, Finland.
The district's main attraction is the largest covered-in shopping mall in the Nordic countries, Itis, which make Itäkeskus as the most significant commercial center of East Helsinki.
The old K-Citymarket, which operated there, opened its doors on March 31, 1977,[4] and its 67,246 m³ hall could accommodate a 6,500 m2 store.
[5][6] Maamerkki, a high-rise building located on the Kauppakartanonkatu street near the Lyypekinaukio square in Itäkeskus, was completed in 1987.
[7] On the other side of the Itäväylä, opposite Itis, is another shopping center called Easton Helsinki, which was completed in October 2017.
