Opening in autumn 2019 in central Helsinki, Mall of Tripla is truly international at heart. It is located just 22 minutes by train from the Helsinki Airport, in the heart of the most densely populated region in the country, at the intersection of every imaginable mode of transportation. Its 250 stores make Mall of Tripla the largest shopping centre in the country, and it will offer a mix of Finnish up-and-comers and top international brands. Mall of Tripla will be the best commercial location in Finland. With a public transportation hub, vibrant cultural and sports activities, and a total floor area of 115,000 square metres, the mall is the first part of Finland’s most significant construction project Tripla to open its doors to the public.
