Veidekke has been given the contract by OBOS Nye Hjem and Stor-Oslo Eiendom to
also build the second stage of the Frysjaparken residential project near
Nordmarka in Oslo. The new contract is a design and build contract valued at NOK
535 million excluding VAT for 225 apartments in three buildings. The contract
also includes a letter of intent on the development of a third stage.
The Frysja area lies between Maridalsvannet and Nydalen, and here industry is
moving out to make way for people. In February 2018 Veidekke started building
the first 154 apartments, and the entire project will comprise more than 900
residential units and some commercial property when completed. Frysjaparken will
be a green and urban residential area where emphasis is on proximity to the
forest. Green, screened-off courtyards with recreational areas, parks, roof
gardens and areas for socialising will be built between the buildings.
"We are proud and grateful for the renewed confidence from OBOS and Stor-Oslo
Eiendom for Frysjaparken. The first stage is approaching completion towards the
end of the year, and this contract allows us to extend the good partnership
characterised by flexibility among all parties involved in the project. We have
brought new technology and new processes into use to build faster, cheaper and
more efficiently, and will now be able to develop this and our whole team
further," says director Anders W. Haugen of Veidekke Bygg Oslo.
Building is expected to start in the third quarter, with occupation planned for
the second half of 2021. More information about the project:
