Turku is a fun city in the sense that it’s just the right size. It’s big enough that you can find everything a business needs here. It’s small enough that the right people run into each other.

The situation is similar when it comes to offices: there are options, they vary, and finding the right one requires enough effort that writing this overview seemed justified. In this overview, we’ll take a look at where Turku’s business community operates—especially from the perspective of small teams of 1–4 people and entrepreneurs. We’ll cover the areas, the options, and what you should really look for in an office.

Where are the companies' offices located in Turku?

Market Square – the traditional heart of the city

The area around Turku’s Market Square has been at the heart of the city’s business life for so long that it has become a guarantee in and of itself. Prestigious addresses, excellent transportation links, and all amenities within walking distance. Prices reflect this, but in return you get a location that needs no explanation to customers or business partners.

For those traveling by car, the area saw a significant improvement in 2020 when the Toripark parking facility was completed beneath the market square. It makes it much easier to get to the city center—and eliminates that familiar “where do I park?” problem before an important meeting.

The area between Torin and Kupittaa – a practical choice

Linnankatu and its immediate surroundings could be described as the city’s “sensible choice”—an area where a central location is combined with slightly more moderate prices. From this area, you can walk to both the Market Square and Kupittaa in less than a quarter of an hour.

The area is also home to the campuses of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University, which makes it particularly attractive to companies for whom access to a skilled workforce is a strategic priority. Recruiting becomes easier when the office is located where potential employees already spend their time.

Kupittaa – growth area

Kupittaa is the part of Turku worth paying attention to if you want to understand where the city is headed. Located in the eastern part of downtown, Kupittaa is one of the fastest-growing areas in Turku in terms of building area.

Turku University of Applied Sciences and Turku Science and Technology Center (Science Park) are located in the area, and Kupittaa’s own train station makes it a natural hub for companies whose employees travel frequently.

Many technology, research, and consulting firms have discovered Kupittaa, and the area is developing at a rapid pace. If you’re looking for a place with growth potential—or a place where you’ll meet the right people—Kupittaa is an area worth considering.

The Logomo Area – A Community-Oriented Alternative

Located on Junakatu, right next to Turku’s main train station, Logomo is perhaps Turku’s most recognizable business district—a former VR railcar repair shop that now houses over 90 companies and welcomes more than 500 visitors a day. It is more of an ecosystem than just office space, and this is evident in the types of businesses that are drawn to the area: the creative economy, media, technology, and culture.

At Logomo, you might not necessarily find your own quiet corner, but you’ll run into people. If networking is part of your business, that can be more of a benefit than a drawback.

The area isn’t as isolated as it might seem at first glance. Since 2021, the Logomo Bridge, which crosses the railroad tracks, has connected Logomo to the office district on Läntinen Pitkäkatu, from where the route continues through Puolalanpuisto toward the market square and the city center. Logomo is therefore within walking distance of more places than its address alone would suggest.

What kinds of office options are available in Turku?

A traditional rental agency refers to renting a space directly from the landlord. There are many such agencies, but you have to negotiate with each one separately, and their operations aren’t necessarily professional—they’re often a side business for a property manager, an investor, or a housing association’s board, for example.

Suitable for a company that knows what it wants, is willing to invest time in research and negotiations, and has a clear understanding of its space requirements—contracts typically last for several years. The freedom is complete, but flexibility is minimal.

Coworking is the domain of companies like Logomo and Spaces. It’s ideal for freelancers and people who enjoy the energy of a shared space. However, the lack of privacy in coworking spaces can pose challenges when you need to make important calls or close the door for a client meeting. When using coworking spaces, you also usually have to bring your own work equipment with you every day.

An office hotel falls somewhere in between: your own private room without a five-year commitment, often available for quick rental from professional providers. Shared common areas—meeting rooms, kitchens, and lobbies—are included in the monthly fee. This is the option entrepreneurs look for when their home office starts to feel too small, but a traditional leased office still feels like too big a leap.

What should you really expect from an office?

Based on our experience, these are the most common issues that entrepreneurs and small teams only come to realize after they’ve first set up an office in a location unsuitable for business:

Location isn’t just about a ZIP code. It’s about whether customers can find their way there, whether employees want to come to work, and whether there’s a place to grab lunch just a stone’s throw away. These things may seem minor—until you make a choice where they’re missing.

Flexibility pays for itself. A three-year lease may seem cheap on paper—until your business changes and you end up paying for space you don't use or that's too small for your company's growing needs.

A meeting room is essential. Client meetings in a coffee shop quickly start to feel awkward. A shared meeting room is sufficient, but it must be available.

Total price for office space. Electricity, internet, cleaning, and a key—these are either included or charged separately. The monthly price and the total cost are two different things.

So be sure to carefully consider these and other factors relevant to your business before committing to a long-term lease.

Turku is growing—and it shows in the office market

Turku is no longer just about Turku. The city is attracting companies from Helsinki, international players, and entrepreneurs who want the networks of the Helsinki metropolitan area without the costs associated with it. Demand for flexible office solutions is higher than ever—the normalization of remote work has changed what people expect from an office.

More and more people are looking for something that is more than a home office but less than a multi-year lease with a landlord.

Boffice's office hotel is coming to Turku – in the fall of 2026

Boffice is a chain of office hotels with locations currently in Helsinki and Espoo. In the fall of 2026, we’ll be opening in Turku —and our locations will be right where the action is. Our first location will open near the market square, and we’ve also identified other potential sites in central locations.

The Boffice concept is simple: you pay for a functional office in a great location—and nothing else. Your own office, a meeting room, a kitchen, 24/7 access, electricity, and internet are all included. Prices start at €299/month.

No ping-pong tables. No fancy coffee machines. No monthly networking events that no one wants to attend. Just an office—in the best possible location.

Editor’s Note: This overview covers Turku’s key office clusters from the perspective of the office areas designed by Boffice. At this stage, the review excludes areas for which we do not have sufficiently reliable information on the office market—including, for example, the area surrounding the Skanssi shopping center, the harbor area, Artukainen, Old Mill, and the Manilla cultural hub. These areas may be relevant for further research, and the review will be supplemented as necessary.
