## FAQ
### What is the impact of tech sector softening?
Material. Nokia restructuring, gaming cluster contraction (Rovio acquisition), and broader European tech weakness have driven vacancy from 8% pre-2022 to 14%+ today.

### How does Kalasatama compare to traditional CBD?
Kalasatama anchors the post-2010 trophy tier with the deepest mixed-use redevelopment; the traditional CBD around Etu-Töölö and Kamppi anchors banking and law firm tenancy.

### Is the Pasila redevelopment material?
Yes — Tripla and the Pasila station redevelopment have anchored a deep post-2018 trophy and retail cluster, materially reshaping the northern CBD frontier.
