business district. Vesa Immonen,
Managing Director of Tapiola Real
Estate Ltd., is expecting big things
from the future: “The Tapiola
Centre keeps developing intensely

communal services, traffic conditions
and living environments.”

T

apiola Group is also one of the most
significant property owners in the area and remains fully committed to the
development of the neighbourhood which

service mix.
