Mehiläinen Group has now merged its two service centers in the Tikkurila area – the medical center on Kielotie and the dental clinic on Tikkuraitti – to a brand new building with an excellent location. The main entrance to the medical center is right at the eastern end of the main pedestrian bridge at the Tikkurila railway station. With the new center, the client goal is now set for more than 100,000 customer visits a year.
Mehiläinen’s Tikkurila premises will now grow by about a 25 % and the new medical center will e.g. be equipped with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit. The new full-service center has approximately one hundred rooms and a staff of more than 300.
Ecorum had previously advised Mehiläinen in a premises project concerning one of Mehiläinen Group’s medical centers in Helsinki city center, and the Tikkurila assignment was a natural follow-up to it. To start with, there were several locations and premises options on the table. In the end, the construction project owned by Sponda that offered both a central business location and sufficient amount of building right to cover all Mehiläinen’s needs, clearly became the number one option.
“When screening business premises, both the location and premises need to match the special needs of a medical center. Our locations must be easily accessible to clients and the work environment must match the needs of our professionals. On top of this, our magnetic resonance imaging units, laboratories and dental care services have special requirements of their own. All these factors needed to be considered from the very beginning”, says Johanna Asklöf, Business Unit Director at Mehiläinen.
“The benefits of the premises solution that we discovered for Mehiläinen were so significant that the idea of moving the two centers under the same roof soon got the green light. The people at Mehiläinen have solid business and lease negotiations expertise of their own and the commercial negotiations were primarily conducted by their in-house executive team. Our experts on the other hand focused above all on the content and necessary customizations of the complex standard lease agreement. It took a lot of effort to rewrite the contract so that the tenant’s perspective and our client’s rights were clearly reflected in the contract”, says Aarne Nurminen who led Ecorum’s team in the project.
