A topping-out event will be held for the new Cumulus hotel building in Tampere on 19 January 2012, starting at 2:00 PM. Construction work at the new Cumulus Rautatienkatu Tampere, which is in the immediate vicinity of the railway station, began in May 2011. The construction work has progressed according to schedule, and the hotel is due for completion in July 2012. The contractor for the project is Lemminkäinen. The total value of the negotiated renovation contracts is around EUR 15 million.

The seven-storey building will comprise 180 rooms, a mini gym and 47 parking places. Commissioned by Fennia Group, the hotel premises will be used by Restel Oy. In addition to the Cumulus hotel, the building will house the Martina Restaurant, due to open in the spring.

For a number of years the focus of Lemminkäinen's renovation work in Tampere has been the development of the city centre.
