Sanomatalo

[1] The building was designed by professor Jan Söderlund and architect Antti-Matti Siikala and it was completed in 1999.

[2] It was the first "glassy" building in Helsinki, and environmentalists protested against the glass walls because they might cause bird deaths.

There have also been protests against the building because it had two additional floors built contrary to the zoning plan.

The two lower floors are commercial and exhibition spaces: they include for example an R-kioski branch.

The building also has a blood donation point of the Finnish Red Cross.
