Kalasatama is becoming a rather densely built-up area - about 25,000 inhabitants will come there, about as many as in Kallio. In addition, jobs are planned for Kalasatama for about 10,000 people.[3] A concentration of 23- to 35-storey skyscraper towers are coming to the Kalasatama center area around the Kalasatama metro station, which was completed in 2007.[4] One of the towers, called Majakka, and the Redi shopping centre are already completed, while the second tower Loisto is still under construction.[5] Construction of the third tower, Kompanssi, began in Spring 2020.[6]
