Helsinki, Finland – Mileway, the leading pan-European last mile logistics real estate company, has secured a lease agreement with Helsinki City Construction Services, Stara, for c. 10,000 sqm of warehouse and office space at the strategically located Hankasuontie 13 in Konala, north-west Helsinki. 

As the in-house service unit of the City of Helsinki, Stara is responsible for maintaining public infrastructure, including streets, parks, and buildings. The facility will serve as its logistics hub and storage site, supporting its essential role in maintaining a clean, functional, and sustainable urban environment. 

The property spans approximately 10,000 sqm with Stara to be the sole occupier. Its prime location offers excellent transport connections, facilitating efficient logistics and transportation management – critical for Stara’s ability to deliver urban construction and maintenance services reliably and flexibly. These services range from large-scale construction projects to minor repairs, long-term landscaping contracts, and condition surveys of individual trees, as well as rapid response services for the city’s internal operators. The asset is five minutes from Ring Roads I and III which provide direct access to all major transport routes across Helsinki, including the airport and Vuosaari Harbour. It also benefits from excellent public transport links. 

“Our focus is on providing high quality facilities that are tailored to our customers’ needs. Thanks to our experienced Asset Management team, the process has been smooth from start to finish with Stara now occupying space that is tailored to its requirements, allowing it to continue its vital services for the City of Helsinki,” said Thomas Lauritsen, Mileway Country Director Denmark and Finland. 

“The location is excellent, with strong transport links that facilitate logistics and goods transportation. Additionally, the property offers ample warehouse space that perfectly meets our operational needs, making Konala an ideal choice for our business. Our collaboration with Mileway has been smooth and efficient. Their flexible, customer-focused approach has made the entire process seamless,” said Sami Aherva, Head of Logistics at Stara.
