KONE Corporation, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, has
won an order to provide a suite of People Flow® solutions for The Node – a 130
-meter-high, 32-storey office building in the Pasila neighborhood of Helsinki in
Finland. The project is part of the Keski-Pasila urban development scheme, aimed
at creating a modern center with residential, office, and service functions.
Scheduled for completion in 2028, The Node will become Finland’s tallest office
building. Featuring 3,000 office workstations and a variety of restaurants and
cafés across 45,000 square meters, it not only provides high-quality office

BREEAM Excellent certification, strict circular economy principles are followed
on site to reduce environmental impact.

stakeholders,” says Ville Häyrinen, Construction Manager at Varma. “KONE
approaches this project with a genuine partnership mindset, understanding the
sensitivities and regulations of high-rise construction. To us, KONE has proven
to be a responsible partner whose expertise we can rely on.”
“The Node is a standout in Finnish high-rise construction,” adds Karla Lindahl,
Executive Vice President for KONE Europe. “A 32-storey mixed-use tower, it will
mark a new chapter in the development of Pasila as a modern neighborhood where
people can work, live, and thrive. At KONE, we are honored to be part of shaping
the Helsinki skyline, while bringing our global experience in the high-rise
industry to Finland.”
KONE’s order for The Node comprises a total of 16 elevators, including nine KONE
MonoSpace® 700 DX and seven KONE MonoSpace® 500 DX elevators, and a total of 28
KONE KT1000 turnstile lanes for a seamless and secure people flow. Additional
solutions include KONE Office Flow, People Flow Analysis, two KONE JumpLift® 800
and KONE SiteFlow® solutions to support construction efficiency.
The developer is the pension insurance company Varma, and the project management
consultant is Haahtela-rakennuttaminen Oy. The architectural design was done by

company, Elisa.
