FIThe Helsinki Garden development project, which is planned for an area currently occupied by Helsinki Ice Hall, has faced financial challenges requiring debt restructuring. According to documents reviewed by Yle, the company's creditors have agreed to reduce their claims to allow the continuation of the government-backed project. The company lacked funds to proceed with the development phase and had no possibility of securing new financing under its current structure. Without this debt arrangement, both the company's operations and the Helsinki Garden project would have been seriously jeopardized. Despite the debt reduction, additional funding has been secured through various sources, including investments from entities such as HIFK, Kari Karvinen, Shieldland Oy, Eduard Paulig, and Javacom Oy.
