Salo participating in Asuntomessut Housing Fair in Oulu

The city of Salo will have its own booth at the Housing Fair opening in Oulu on Friday (18.7.).

– Now that there is almost exactly three years until the Housing Fair in Salo in the summer of 2028, it is appropriate to start marketing our own event also at upcoming housing fair events, starting this year in Oulu, next year in Lempäälä, and in 2027 in Siuntio, says the project manager of the Salo Housing Fair, Mervi Lehto.

– At the city’s booth, visitors can get acquainted with the future exhibition areas in Salo as well as the initial sketches of the actual sites. At the same time, we will of course also share general information about Salo as a residential and tourist destination, Lehto continues.

– I believe what makes Salo particularly interesting as a housing fair city is that the Housing Fair in Salo will be implemented with a completely new concept. There will not be a single unified fair area in the city, but there will be several areas, all located near the city center close to the River Salo. The sites are mainly infill and renovation projects, and the key themes connecting the sites are sustainable development, diversity, and community spirit, describes the future fair sites the city of Salo’s Director of Economic Development Mika Mannervesi.

The city of Salo and the Cooperative Suomen Asuntomessut signed a reservation agreement in May regarding the Salo fairs, and are now preparing a cooperation agreement that will define the details of the fair project implementation more precisely. The cooperation agreement is intended to be approved by the end of this year.

The Housing Fair in Oulu is open to the public from 18.7. to 17.8. from Monday to Wednesday and Friday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm, and on Thursdays from 12 am to 8 pm. On Thursdays during artist nights (24.7., 31.7., 7.8., and 14.8.), the area is open until 8:30 pm and the sites until 8 pm. For VIP ticket holders, the area is also open on Thursdays from 9 am to 12 am.

The city of Salo’s booth E4 is located near exhibition sites 21 and 22 as well as restaurant area. Check out the area map for the Housing Fair in Oulu.
