The city of Riihimäki continues to develop a new use for the old power plant property located next to the railway station through a market dialogue between potential project developers and investors. The market dialogue will be implemented during September 2023.
The aim of the market dialogue is to find new partners to implement the project. In addition, feedback on the project's content concept and implementation conditions is sought from actors. The consulting office Capex Advisors assists the city of Riihimäki in implementing the market dialogue.
The announcement of the project's market dialogue and the materials have been published on the Hilma website for public procurement (www.hankintaylokkeet.fi).
Voimala's concept has been developed starting in autumn 2022 with the New European Bauhaus project funded by the European Commission. Voimala's future operating concept, which was worked on in the project, was published in June 2023. After that, consulting agencies Pink Eminence and No Fear Agency & Promotion have continued to develop the content concept and searched for the operator of Voimala's multipurpose hall.
The goal is for Voimala to turn into a factory of culture, experiences and events, whose visitors are, among other things, lovers of music, culture, robotics and design. The schedule goal is to start Voimala's modification work during the fall of 2024 and to complete it during 2026.
The city's goal is to find a developer partner or consortium for the project, who will buy the building and plot from the city, implement the project and, after the project is completed, act as a landlord for companies and services operating in Voimala (for the city and other operators).
Voimala and its plots are currently owned by the construction company YIT. Riihimäki has signed a letter of intent with YIT, according to which Voimala would be transferred to the city's ownership for one euro during 2023. The property is to be transferred from the city to the developer partner during 2024.
Voimala is a red brick building with a floor area of approximately 5 square meters, which serves as a landmark in the Riihimäki station area. It is located at Paloheimonkatu 000, 2 Riihimäki, with excellent transport connections.
The goal is for Voimala to be in use in 2027, when a housing fair is also planned for Riihimäki.
