Loihde, a security and digitalization specialist, has leased new premises at Aleksi 15 on Aleksanterinkatu in Helsinki. The company will relocate to this historic property in the city center in late autumn. Trevian Asset Management manages the leasing of office and business premises for the property. The staff’s preference for its central location, good transport connections, and suitability for various working methods influenced the choice of this office space.

– Loihde has made several acquisitions in recent years, which has led to having several offices in the capital region. Currently, we are centralizing our operations to two locations: the city center and Pitäjänmäki. This approach allows us to enhance collaboration and cater to the diverse needs of our business operations and employees, says HR Partner Emma Elsayed from Loihde.

The core principles of Loihde include “people first”, according to which the company carefully listened to its staff when searching for a new office. Approximately half of the company’s 900 employees reside in the capital region.

– The city center emerged as the top choice when we surveyed our employees about their preferred work location. Furthermore, we analyzed the transportation accessibility of various locations based on our personnel’s home addresses, considering public transport and car commuting, says Elsayed.

The growing popularity of remote and hybrid work highlights the significance of office comfort and location. To encourage employees to work from the office, the space should be well-organized and provide areas that foster collaboration and focused work. Considering the diverse and demanding nature of modern information work, offices should prioritize the well-being of their occupants.

At Loihde, many staff members work from home or at the customer’s location for part of the week. However, the main reasons for coming to the office are the sense of community, in-person interactions with colleagues, and ergonomic working conditions. Additionally, the office provides other services, such as lunch opportunities.

– It is fantastic to have such a significant company as a tenant in the building. This is an excellent example of modern technology blending with a classic building. Aleksi 15 caters to the needs of today’s office users thanks to its central location, good accessibility, and versatile premises. A responsibly renovated and modernized building attracts companies prioritizing sustainability, says Helena Kangas, Head of Office Leasing at Trevian.

Aleksi 15 has been a central part of Finnish commerce for nearly 150 years. The property offers a variety of office and business spaces in the heart of Helsinki, situated on the vibrant central street, Aleksanterinkatu.

The historic commercial building has been transformed into a modern office and commercial space using ecologically sustainable and responsible materials. The updated premises are designed to meet the needs of modern businesses and can adapt flexibly to accommodate different companies.
