Teollisuuskatu 6

Kielo strengthens its presence in Kuopio with a modern, responsibly developed retail property in the growing Haapaniemi district. Developed in collaboration with Tekova, the four-tenant building provides high-quality, efficient premises for strong commercial brands and supports the region’s growing service demand. The project aligns with Kielo’s strategy to invest in sustainable, user‑centric properties in key growth centres.

Premises and features

The Haapaniemi retail property offers approximately 8,300 square metres of leasable space, with binding lease agreements signed with four commercial tenants. One of the tenants is the Swedish retailer Jula, whose Kuopio store marks its first location in Eastern Finland. The building is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2026.

The premises are designed to support the needs of large commercial operators, with modern, energy‑efficient and responsible solutions integrated throughout the development. The property is fully leased ahead of completion, demonstrating both the strong appeal of the location and the confidence of its future users.

Area

Located in the Haapaniemi district, the property sits within a rapidly developing commercial area that serves both local residents and the wider Kuopio region. The district’s commercial profile continues to strengthen with new operators, and the project plays an important role in enhancing the city’s vitality and service offering.

Accessibility

Haapaniemi offers excellent accessibility from Kuopio city centre as well as major regional routes. The area is easy to reach by car, making it an ideal location for retailers with extensive product assortments and high customer traffic. Its accessibility supports smooth customer flow and strengthens the site’s position as a convenient retail destination.
