Apartment buildings under construction in Santalahti

There are several abandoned factory buildings in Santalahti that currently serve as graffiti galleries. OTK's old match factory will be repaired and it will have a kindergarten.[1] The area has also been rebuilt as a home for thousands of residents.[2][3] Santalahti has once been one of the railway stops for the Tampere-Seinäjoki railway. Designed by architect Bruno Granholm and completed in 1907, the site was demolished after the site was closed in the 1970s.[4]
