The area to be zoned is located between the future Postipuisto and Eteläinen Postipuisto, which has already been zoned. In the future, these three areas will form a cohesive district in North Pasila.
Homes for approximately 3,000 residents are planned for Keskinen Postipuisto along with commercial and public services, such as a daycare centre. In the west, the area is demarcated by Central Park and in the east by the Ilmala train depot area. Construction will not extend to Central Park. Parking will be arranged for in parking facilities.
The two-storey Pasila post sorting centre and the Posti headquarters building are currently located in the area. The post sorting centre will likely be demolished in the 2030s, at the earliest, before the construction of the new district. New uses for the Posti headquarters will be discussed during detailed planning.
The Kustinpolku pedestrian street will run through the new area. Vehicle traffic is directed to Postiljooninkatu next to the Ilmala depot. The tram may also run along Postiljooninkatu in the future. Postintaival, located next to Central Park, will be transformed into a walking and cycling route. A cycling path is also planned for the area, and its more precise route will be specified later on.
