[2] Central Pasila is currently home to the major sports and music venue Helsinki Halli and the Tripla complex, which includes a hotel of about 430 rooms, 50,000 square metres of office space[3] (including the headquarters of telecom operator Telia Finland[4]), about 400 residential flats[5] and the largest commercial center in the Nordic countries with 250 shops.
In connection with Tripla, several Trigoni skyscrapers are planned, the tallest of which, about 180 meters high from the top of the building, will be visible, in good weather, all the way to the Estonian coast.
Eastern Pasila (Finnish: Itä-Pasila) is a highly mixed-use area of offices, flats and commercial spaces, built in the 1970s and 1980s.
In terms of urban planning the most distinct feature of the area is its pedestrian-friendly design, based around a raised, pedestrian-only podium that connects to all buildings.
[17] Northern Pasila (Finnish: Pohjois-Pasila) is mainly known for Ilmala rail yard and a 2010s residential area called Postipuisto.
