Majakka (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈmɑjɑkːɑ]; lit. 'lighthouse') is a high-rise building in Kalasatama, Helsinki, Finland. The tower is 134 metres (440 ft) tall, making it the tallest building in Finland. It is divided into 35 floors, and contains 283 residences.[4] The 5th floor has a garden open to the public. The tower is conjoined with the Redi shopping centre and the Kalasatama metro station. The complex will include seven other residential towers, as well as a hotel and offices.
