Sulake HQ/Finland Office Change?

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't think this has been posted and if so then I'm sorry. But it seems the Finland office of Habbo/Sulake has changed recently. I'm not sure if you would class this as their HQ but they had like a castle looking type of building if anyone remembers it but:

2010:


Finland
Sulake Suomi Oy
Korkeavuorenkatu 35, 00130 Helsinki, Finland
Local services: www.habbo.fi
Advertising inquiries: [email protected]

Sept 2011:

Finland
Sulake Suomi Oy
Porkkalankatu 1, 00180 Helsinki, Finland
Local services: www.habbo.fi
Advertising inquiries: [email protected]


Plus the CTO of Sulake recently sent this tweet out:

Yes they posted 2 other pics on the Habbo facebook page:


Habbo HQ has moved to a shiny new office here in Helsinki. We say farewell to the old castle, our home for the past four years. After the last party, no wonder big renovations were needed ;)

The old one was only a 2 minute walk from where I'm staying in Helsinki next week so I was planning on checking it out :L - Might go have a look anyway if there's time.

Just returned from Helsinki and couldn't help myself but to take photos outside of both the old and new headquarters for Sulake. I suppose it's amongst the saddest things I've done in my life but seeing as I haven't played Habbo for years and how it dominated my life from 2005-2008 it seemed an opportunity not to miss. I've also never known anyone get photos outside of the Sulake HQ so something of a first maybe :P

The old HQ is a fantastic building right in the centre of Helsinki, whilst architecture in the city is absolutely amazing throughout, it was actually one of the more distinctive buildings never the less in a great location. It's still got the Sulake logo on etc and I couldn't really tell if it was still being used. Was located very close to my exchange students school so only two minutes out my way.

The new HQ is a very new building in the modern "business" part of Helsinki to the west, very close to where I ended up staying (I went past it every day). In the region there's lots of world-leading technology companies such as Intel and Nokia in brand new buildings. The Habbo figures were present through the window (although not that easy to spot in my photos!). The "Sulake" name hasn't yet been added to the list of companies located within the building. I would assume they've somewhat downgraded in office size but still in a decent place never the less.
