The Kupittaa Core infrastructure project is moving towards implementation

On September 22, 2025, the Turku City Council approved the Kupittaa Core infrastructure project plan, the first phase of the local detailed plan, and the preliminary agreement for the real estate transaction. Construction is expected to begin in early 2026.

The infrastructure project is a key part of both the Kupittaa Core project and the broader Turku Science Park development. Kupittaa Core is envisioned as a dynamic and functional centre that bridges the districts of Itäharju and Kupittaa. The area will integrate education, public services, housing, workspaces, and flexible facilities for businesses, forming a high-quality urban environment supported by a solid economic base. The development and construction of the area will be realized in phases. The initial phase will consist of the infrastructure project together with the Turku Vocational Institute’s Taito Campus, which will anchor the transformation of the area. 

The Kupittaa Core infrastructure project includes a deck across Helsinginkatu and the railway, a parking facility with approximately 650 spaces, and a mobility hub serving as a key transport node. The realignment of Helsinginkatu and its transformation into a boulevard will contribute to a more dynamic and appealing urban district.
