The city of Riihimäki organized a plot competition for a plot located in Jokikylä. There were no proposals for the competition. The aim of the competition was to find a high-level and implementable plan for the implementation of the first block of the area, and at the same time set the quality level of the development of the new district to a high level.

"There is a weak situation in housing construction nationwide. The construction of construction companies cannot be fixed with other housing production, as is usually the case in a recession, because at the moment state support for rental and special housing is frozen. It has also been decided to end support for, for example, right-of-occupancy apartments. The situation is also reflected in plot competitions", says competition expert Kirsti Rantanen from the Finnish Architects' Association (SAFA).

The city of Riihimäki implemented the competition in cooperation with SAFA. The competition started on April 22, 2024 and the competition period ended on September 13, 2024.

Jokikylä is part of the Riihimäki station area. The development of the railway station region is one of the top projects of the city of Riihimäki's strategy. The target lot is located near the train station in Asemanpuisto's Jokikylä (lot 509 of block 1).

"When finished, Jokikylä will have greenery and places to hang out, because the Vantaanjoki river flows in the middle of the residential area and a public park area will be formed around the riverbed. Jokikylä is an area of ​​possibilities in terms of construction. The location next to the train station within walking distance of the center is excellent. When residential construction starts to rise, the area will certainly interest builders," says Anna-Riitta Kujala, director of vitality.

During autumn 2024, the Riihimäki city council will discuss Jokikylä's infrastructure investments as part of the 2025 budget preparation.

The bad situation of housing construction can also be seen on the other side of Riihimäki. The preliminary agreement between the city and the construction company NCC Suomi Oy for the Peukaloinen block in Suokylä is being terminated. The city organized a plot competition in Peukaloin in 2021. The Vitality Board made a decision to cancel the preliminary agreement on Thursday, September 12, 2024.
