The Wasa-Aktie-Bank Building is an office building located at the corner of Eteläesplanadi and Kasarmikatu (Eteläesplanadi 12/Kasarmikatu 27) in the Kaartinkaupunki district of central Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland. It was originally built by Wasa-Aktie-Bank as its own office in 1898–99 and designed by Swedish-born architect John Settergren, then working for Grahn, Hedman & Wasastjerna, while Finland was still a Grand Duchy, territorially a part of the Czarist Russian Empire.Eeva Järvenpää, Ministeriöt ja virastot levittäytyivät Pyöriäisen kortteliin Helsingin Sanomat, 10 February 2007.
