Aviapolis

Aviapolis

Aviapolis is a rapidly growing business, retail, entertainment and housing area in Central Vantaa, Finland covering 42 square kilometers including the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.

Business

Currently Aviapolis is referenced as the most popular business site in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area surpassing even the Helsinki City center [ [http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Aviapolis+trade+centre+to+accommodate+major+trade+fair+facilities/1135234872568 Helsingin Sanomat International Edition] "Aviapolis trade centre to accommodate major trade fair facilities", March 17, 2008 ] . Businesses already located at Aviapolis include Technopolis [http://www.technopolis.fi/index.php?132] Technology Park and Airport Plaza Business Park. Work in progress include, for example, the construction of the new World Trade Center located in the heart of the Airport district.

Transport

Having Finland's largest airport, Helsinki-Vantaa, located in the Aviapolis the international connections are broad, boasting also the shortest flying distance from EU to many Asian destinations [ [http://www.vantaa.fi/en/i_perusdokumentti.asp?path=110;6837;22908 City of Vantaa] "Your journey starts at Helsinki-Vantaa", 10 July, 2007 ] .

The Ring Road III going through the Aviapolis area connects it with all main highways in and out of Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Because of the airport there are also many bus lines heading both to many Finnish Cities as well as to many suburbs in Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa.

The initial planning has started for the construction of Ring Rail Line which would link the Aviapolis area and the airport to the main railway line, Helsinki City and suburbs of Western Vantaa.

Retail

In the center of the Aviapolis area is the Jumbo Shopping Centre which is Finland's second largest shopping centre, with adjacent entertainment centre Flamingo opening before the end of 2008. There are also a number of other retail parks and shopping districts.

Living

The Aviapolis area includes, among others, the Kartanonkoski housing district which houses International School of Vantaa. The Helsinki Central Park is situated close by.
