However, the surrounding construction work affected the total number of visitors, which is estimated to have increased by approximately 4.2% compared to 2021.

"Last year, we continued investing in the development of Hansakortteli. We improved the accessibility of the shopping center with a new underground corridor from Toriparkki, built a new family room and improved the public spaces. We have received a lot of positive feedback on these", says Marketing Manager Mirva Järvinen.

The year 2023 has started briskly for Hansakortteli. The number of visitors through the main entrances increased by 44% in January compared to January 2022.

"The renovation and construction work in the center has now been completed, and this affects people's desire to do business in the center. Both the number of visitors and the number of hours spent shopping by consumers are growing rapidly, which is wonderful for our entrepreneurs", states Järvinen.

Almost 140 companies operate in Hansakortteli. These companies employ approximately 1,600 people.

THE VOICE OF A TENANT

“The customer experience and being able to touch and feel things on-site is what it's all about. Unlike in a webstore, in a boutique, you can discuss things with the customer. It's always a great feeling when you find the perfect gift together for your client," says the entrepreneur of Gift Shop Rusetti, Päivi Toivonen, in a local newspaper, Turun Sanomat. The gift shop, which has been operating in the center of Turku for 40 years, is now doing better than ever in its Hansakortteli premises.
