Just a few comments regarding this site's history... I expect no-one to take any action, because this heliport indeed no longer exists.

The heliport was in operation from the early 2000s (or late 1990s, the details are a bit muddy) until late 2019. The original lease for the site expired in 2016, after which the site operated under "extended lease" with the expectation that it would be demolished and re-landscaped no later than 2020 to its original state upon when the leaseholders were expected to vacate the premises. According to Google imagery, this timetable did hold.

Regarding Julian's comment for Scenery 87865 ... yeah, that was probably not meant to be a taxi-line (but it was an actual ground marking back in 2014 - unfortunately we didn't have as many tools at the time as we have today:)

As a 100% personal opinion, it is an absolute shame that this heliport (as well as EFHF / Helsinki Malmi airport in 2021) got closed mainly for political reasons at the time. But ... these things happen :(
