Complementing the urban structure of Marjaniemi, Puotila and Vartioharju, Puotilanranta is located close to the versatile services of Itäkeskus. The new area is to include efficient and diverse apartment buildings, an artificial island and a new boat harbour.
Puotilanranta gets a lush waterfront park and practical walking and cycling paths. The Puotilanranta section from the Vuosaari bridge to Marjaniemi completes the coastal route around Vartiokylänlahti.
New boat harbour and other services
The Puotila marina currently has approximately 600 berths. A new, smaller marina is planned in conjunction with the new waterfront park in the southern part of the Puotilanranta residential area. The area at the tip of Koivuniemi will remain a marina area. Expanding the Vuosaarenlahti marina in the east will also create new berths.
The plan includes a daycare centre for 180 children in connection with the residential blocks, with space also reserved for brick-and-mortar business premises, parking facilities and a grocery store.
A block on an artificial island
One of the Puotilanranta residential blocks is to be built in an area covered by water and connected to the mainland by bridges. A separate competition will be organised to plan and implement the artificial island.
The later planning stages will examine things like integrating natural values and recreational use, stormwater treatment, and the development of the Marjaniemenpuro brook.
