Have you been shopping on Ratapihantie? Few people even know what to talk about, as this is a gray sight hidden in Pasila right from the early 1990s.
Senior the woman leaves the bike in the parking lot in front of the business premises, walks inside the building in the usual steps and tries out Alko’s door.
The door is locked. It has a taped note on it: “Our store is closing”.
The woman looks disappointed, turns from her heels and returns to the bike.
Then it’s quiet for a while again.
On the railway yard road is located in a dormant business space that has seen its best days, which seems to have fallen asleep permanently.
Alko was still operating in the property in the last days of May, but its doors will be closed in June.
Upstairs offices are quiet during teleworking, downstairs customers are still attracted to Lidl.
Next door are Pasila’s bustling station and Tripla’s shopping center, which absorb customers.
The sparrow flies inside.
How is so dead in Ratapihantie 3?
There are offices in the corridors of the retail space.
The logos of Lidlin and Alko decorate the wall of the retail space on behalf of Ratapihantie. Pasila Station and Tripla are in the immediate vicinity.
Usually a good business space is recognized at least by the fact that it has a name that suits people’s mouths.
It is missing from this place. Officially, the name of the store is Kiinteistö Oy Ratavartijakatu 3.
Stairs up to the deserted square Pertti Rintahaka. He if anyone knows the area, because Rintahaka travels the route through the property according to his own bills at least 200 times a year, when he lives in East Pasila.
The upstairs square is a bright combination of covered interior and exterior. The windows adorn the ceiling, there are tobacco booths in the middle of the square. The color scheme of the place is light and the materials are tile, steel and glass.
Memories of the provincial shopping malls of the 1990s burst into mind.
Pertti Rintahaka has lived in Itä-Pasila for 41 years. The walks must be passed through the Ratapihantie Store several times a week.
Chest according to the property has always been quiet, although perhaps even quieter recently, as the upstairs beer restaurant Nurkka closed last summer. At the same time, guests on the terrace of the pub disappeared.
With Korona, the office workers in the building disappeared remotely, Triplan Alko probably took Alko’s customers to Ratapihantie.
The chest hook itself is satisfied with the offer of the house as such.
“I haven’t been able to miss anything,” he says.
“But it would be such a sweet space even for a theater club, band or ballet.”
The potential would be enormous.
The black tapes on the windows still resemble the corner of the beer restaurant Nurk.
Property Oy Ratavartijakatu 3 is owned by Nordea Life Assurance Finland Ltd.
Property Manager Janne Sipilän according to it is an office property where all office space is currently leased.
The offices were renovated a few years ago, so according to Sipilä, the offices, which have been converted into multi-purpose premises, meet today’s requirements.
On the other hand, there has been turnover in Kivijala’s business premises.
“Of course, Alko’s departure has been disappointing for us, but there have already been inquiries about that condition.”
What does Sipilä think about the claim that Tripla had silenced the property?
“In our view, the Tripla shopping center has brought more life to the area, and also increases the value and attractiveness of the surrounding areas.”
Veronika Georgieva, who works in the property, is becoming a regular customer of Marianne Suraka’s café Gluten-Free Dream.
In the building there could be a lot of potential. The entrepreneur believes the same Marianne Surakkawho opened a gluten – free dream café on the site of an old pub a month ago.
The new entrepreneur is quite happy with the place: trams and trains run right next door, there is a parking space downstairs.
A stone’s throw away is the hustle and bustle, but your own café is suitably peaceful.
“A group of telecommuters have recently returned during the month,” says Surakka.
He strongly believes that customers can be found.
The door is still open.
Working in the building Veronika Georgieva came to get some coffee.
Gerogieva thinks that the café is taking the development of the retail space in the right direction, but she would still have suggestions for improvement:
“I would love a nice terrace,” he says.
Jerry Fongo (left) and Li Ye estimate that the property’s tile floor would be ideal for skateboarding.
Empty in the square, two young men are yawning with skateboards in their hands.
Li Ye and Jerry Fongo had heard the rumor of a flat floor that would be good to roll.
Unfortunately, the office workers disagreed: someone just shouted that skateboarding was interfering with the course of the meeting.
What do men think of the business center?
“This has always been really quiet. A little spurgu mesta, ”Fongo says.
“Yeah, the difference to Triple is really big,” Ye says.
“This place is a bit lost,” Fongo concludes.
