There had been proposals of a spa in Katajanokka to the Finnish Bureau of Sports and Exercise already in 2006. Construction of Allas Sea Pool was given a permit in August 2015.[3] The Ministry for Labour and Entrepreneurship supported the project with 329 thousand euros. The city of Helsinki, Finnvera, and Tekes gave the project a loan of 3 million euro in total.[4] In addition, the project was financed with group funding, which gathered 810 thousand euros. Over 400 people participated in the group funding.[5] One of the pools was built on the Teijo docks of Western Shipyard in Salo, where it was transferred by sea to Katajanokka in a little under one day.[6]
