Redi was completed in September 2018. Redi was designed by architect Pekka Helin.[2] The shopping center is part of the Redi complex, which includes the highest residential building in Finland, the 134-meter and 35-storey Majakka.[3] The complex is estimated to cost over one billion euros.[4]

The shopping center is divided into two parts, named Stadi and Sköne. At the street level, the street Kalasatamankatu, running in north–south direction, demarcates the division. The Kalasatama metro station is located on the third floor of the center and is directly accessible from Redi.[2]

Redi's visitor amounts faded following the opening of the mall on September 20, 2018.[5]
