Senaatti-kiinteistöt, known in English as Senate Properties, is Finland’s state-owned real estate organization responsible for the management, construction, and maintenance of the state's property portfolio. The organization serves as the central real estate partner for central government agencies and other public sector bodies, handling ownership, leases, development, and facilities management of government offices, ministries, courts, and other public facilities. It is also involved in architectural planning, major renovation and new construction projects, and the preservation of culturally and historically significant buildings. In line with public-sector goals, Senaatti-kiinteistöt emphasizes energy efficiency, accessibility, safety, and sustainable operation of facilities, adapting to changing government needs and budgets.

The portfolio includes a wide range of buildings across Finland, including government office premises in Helsinki and other cities, as well as specialized facilities and publicly used spaces. The organization works with ministries, authorities, and municipalities to plan estate strategies, coordinate procurement, and deliver construction projects, often using public procurement procedures and long-term asset management.

Senaatti-kiinteistöt operates as a government-owned enterprise under the purview of state ownership and is overseen by a board and managing director. Its activities are governed by Finnish laws on public administration, property management, and procurement, and it maintains historical archives and expert knowledge in architecture and real estate. The entity has a long-standing role in shaping the Finnish state’s built environment.
