The campus area in Arabia continues to grow. Together with Hanken, Stiftelsen Arcada is building the student housing project Majstången, which will add 150 new student apartments and is expected to be completed in summer 2027. A topping-out ceremony was held on 4 November.
Development of the area surrounding Arcada is now entering its next phase. The topping-out ceremony for Majstången was held on 4 November. During the event, greetings were delivered by representatives of the client, the developer, the students and the contractor. The Mayor of Helsinki, Daniel Sazonov, also conveyed a greeting on behalf of the City of Helsinki.
In his greeting, the Mayor emphasised the importance of the project for Helsinki as a student city, while also highlighting the roles of both Arcada and Hanken as key actors within the higher education sector across the entire metropolitan area.
The building project aims to strengthen the attractiveness of the campus area and contribute to a vibrant study environment where more students can live close to their studies, services and community. The project is scheduled for completion in 2027, with the first students expected to move in during August ahead of the start of the academic year.
