Stockmann, Helsinki centre

It is the largest department store in the Nordic countries in terms of area and total sales.

Stockmann Delicatessen, the food and beverage department located at the basement level, is renowned for the quality and choice of its foodstuffs.

In 2017, Stockmann Helsinki Centre was the fifth largest department store in Europe with area of 50,500 square meters.

Because of this, Stockmann expanded to fill the entire block bordered by the streets of Mannerheimintie, Aleksanterinkatu, Keskuskatu and Pohjoisesplanadi.

This was a challenging project, as it took place in the heart of Helsinki, and the department store was functional during the works.

The atrium was covered, adding 1,500 square metres (16,000 sq ft) of retail space to the sixth to eighth floors.

The 3-floor hall has connections to Ruoholahdenkatu as part of the central maintenance tunnel, and to the junction of Kalevankatu and Mannerheimintie.
