HELSINKI, Finland — Stora Enso has started operations in its new head office, Katajanokan Laituri in Helsinki, the largest mass timber building in Finland. Showcasing the company’s wood products and solutions, the building is a true landmark in sustainable architecture and low-carbon construction. The lightweight, prefabricated mass timber elements allowed the multi-storey, mixed-use building to be the first project in decades to be constructed in the historic, well-preserved as well as culturally significant Helsinki landscape and harbour area. The building, owned by mutual pension insurance company Varma, was completed on schedule in July 2024. The four-storey Katajanokan Laituri houses Stora Enso’s head office and Solo Sokos Hotel Pier 4. The building is also open to the public who now can experience and enjoy the wooden architectural design in its entirety.
