According to a bidding contest, they are going to a construction firm, with a huge total sum of 16,5 million euros. The plot that is facing towards north in Linnankatu, has a price tag of 4,7 million euros and it has a planned right to build 3 500 floor square metres in a plot that's 2 500 square meters large. The city council will eventually approve the plot deals.
