Now the largest shopping centre in the Nordic countries, Itis was built in three stages. The first part was completed in autumn 1984 and an extension in September 1992. The opening of the Piazza in September 2001 brought Itis to its current size.
The gross leasable area (GLA) at Itis is 96,300 sq.m. There are more than 120 shops, 15 restaurants, two department stores and about 30 offices in the shopping centre. Until early 2012, the shopping centre was named Itäkeskus. It was renamed Itis in March 2012 together with the launch of a complete overhaul of the shopping centre, scheduled for completion in 2014.
The shopping centre is owned by Wereldhave Finland Oy, a Dutch-held property investment company.
The level P car park now has wider parking spaces and a more modern look. The lighting and signs have been refurbished and made clearer, including the marking of parking spaces for families and disabled persons.
The next phase of the central corridor renewal will begin in April and continue until November. The renewed area will feature several new kiosks.
The Shopping Centre Itis renewal project includes renewal of the shopping centre’s facades and entrances.
