Summary

On 25 August 2026 the City of Lahti reported that a new data centre is planned in the Kujala industrial area, developed by ecogrid.energy Oy and the construction company Peab, and that applications for a building permit and a deviation permit have been filed; the city's FAQ of 26 August places it on Peab's lot at Vartiokallionkatu 2. Announced as of 25 August 2026. Ryhti records a building permit (302412792B) decided at that address on 15 September 2026, but its legal validity is not recorded, so permitted status is not asserted; construction (first half of 2027) and completion (2028) are forecasts. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 60.96707, 25.72912
Geometry licence: CC-BY-4.0
Use scope: Project locator
Scope class: official_permit_building_reference_point
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: ryhti_official_permit_building_point_as_project_locator
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Ryhti reference point for permanent building 104296229F, the 37,297 m2 three-storey new building of Lahti permit 302412792B (decided 15 September 2026) on property 398-17-9900-6 at Vartiokallionkatu 2 in the Kujala industrial area. It is a project locator, not a building footprint, Peab's lot or quarry, an entrance, a survey point or a claim of work at the point; the permit's three smaller buildings lie 142 to 242 m away.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
Ryhti publishes building reference points without a positional-accuracy statement; the other buildings of the permit lie up to 242 m from the selected point, and the identity of the permit with the data centre is an address-level match.
Geometry evidence: 553a1c57

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
