Kiinteistö Oy Siltasaarenkatu 8-10, Protected shopping center in Siltasaari, Finland
Kiinteistö Oy Siltasaarenkatu 8-10 is a protected building with retail spaces in the Hakaniemi district of Helsinki. The structure shows early 20th-century architectural features with multiple shops and uses that divide the ground floor and upper levels.
Architect Onni Tarjanne designed the building, with construction starting in 1909 and finishing in 1914. It emerged during a period of intense urban growth in Helsinki, when many new commercial quarters were being built.
The building is part of Hakaniemi's historic streetscape and reflects how Helsinki shaped its commercial quarters in the early 1900s. The protected facade still displays the craftsmanship that visitors notice while walking through the neighborhood.
The building sits in a central location in Hakaniemi and is easy to reach on foot. Access to the retail spaces is available from the street, and the area has good connections to public transport.
The building was placed under protection to preserve early Helsinki commercial architecture, rather than serving as a historical museum. This makes it a living example of how older structures still house businesses and shape the neighborhood today.
