The appearance of one of the largest shopping centres in the Nordic countries was enhanced and approximately 11,000 square metres of new business premises were established in this renovation project. The functionality of the boulevard-like hallway on the second floor was improved by making the bridges wider and constructing meeting spaces. New kiosk-like stores were constructed along the hallways and areas for seasonal pop up stores that are also available to businesses who do not regularly use the centre’s premises were established around the shopping centre. The renovation also included re-locating Stockmann in a new area at the Piazza at the eastern end of the shopping centre.
