REDI
Shopping mall opened in September 2018, built around the Kalasatama metro station. Redi is said to be the most labyrinthine shopping centre in Europe, mostly because the metro tracks cuts the mall in half, so that is by itself an interesting thing to experience. The Majakka building on top of the mall is the second tallest skyscraper in the Nordic countries (after Turning Torso in Malmö).
