A topping-out ceremony was held at the Särmä business and service centre – construction will be completed on schedule in 2026 

“Särmä is one of the most significant projects in the municipality of Tuusula. It brings municipal services back to the heart of Hyrylä and creates space for shops and services,” said Mayor Janne Mellin at the topping-out ceremony.  

“The project is also important for municipal employees. Many have been working in temporary premises for a long time, and now we will have new, shared premises,” said Albert Andersson, Director of Municipal Development. 

Construction began with extensive earthworks in the summer of 2024. Prior to this, the municipality of Tuusula carried out preparatory work on the site by demolishing the old shopping centre and constructing municipal infrastructure. Improvements to the street areas connected to the Särmä construction project began in November 2024 and will be completed next summer. 

“The most difficult phase of construction is behind us, and interior work is now underway. This phase has the greatest impact on the quality of the final product – let’s work together to ensure that quality is maintained until the very end,” said Henri Hynynen, Construction Director at Urban Partners. 

“It’s great that we’re able to open a brand new Prisma store in Tuusula based on the latest concept. The store will be important for the HOK-Elanto network and the residents of Tuusula,” said Timo Myllynen, Property Director at HOK-Elanto. 

Commercial services in Hyrylä will develop rapidly in the coming years. The Särmä business and service centre will be completed in 2026. In addition, Kesko is expanding Hyrrä. Jysk and Lidl have opened stores on Pysäkkikuja. A new social and health centre and parking facility are planned next to the swimming hall. Construction of the Koskensillantie parking facility has begun. In addition, the vitality of the city centre is being developed with projects for apartment blocks on Esikunnanpolku and Koskensillantie. 

The municipality is investing in the attractiveness of the town centre by planning and implementing improvements to Jokipuisto Park and new square and recreation areas in Varuskunnanaukio Square, Monio, and the area between the swimming pool and the parish centre.
