Island and residential area in Helsinki, Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nihti (Swedish: Knekten) is an island on the Kruunuvuorenselkä water area in the Sörnäinen district in Helsinki, Finland. On the northern side of the Nihdinkanava channel is the island of Sompasaari.
History
Sörnäinen harbor
Nihti was a part of the Sörnäinen Harbour until its closure in 2008 in favour of the new Vuosaari Harbour.[1][2]
Residential use
Nihti is being converted into a residential area with plans to build apartments for about 3,000 people. The island will also become a major interchange point in the Helsinki tram network, as both the Pasila–Kalasatama line 13 and the Crown Bridges light rail lines will pass through Nihti. Construction on the island started in July 2021.[3][4] The first residents moved to Nihti in 2024.[5]
