Nordic Urban is developing a fully floating well-being hub in the Aurajoki river in the city center of Turku. The project was initiated in 2018-2019 when Nordic Urban’s (then Töölö Urban) proposal was selected as the winner in the city’s “Cultural River Raft” competition that searched for ideas to add activities along the riverfront. The project in Turku is currently in the permitting stage.

The hub will offer a wide range of well-being services, including two heated swimming pools (27°C), a cold pool, saunas, a restaurant, and spaces for events and wellness activities as well as cultural programming. Located in the heart of the city, the facility provides opportunities for swimming, bathing and social experiences by the waterfront.

Nordic Urban’s new hub will create a new attractive riverside destination for both locals and visitors. The facility’s multifaceted architecture and versatile activity offering provide an opportunity to experience the city from a new perspective, greatly broadening the city’s urban experience.
