Veidekke has been contracted by SKB, Stockholms Kooperative Bostadsförening, to
build 128 new cooperative rental apartments in Hagastaden, Stockholm. The
Kvarteret Lysosomen project is a design and build contract worth SEK 295
million. Construction starts in Q3 2019, and the project is currently expected
to be ready for occupancy in the autumn of 2022.
The buildings comprise up to twelve floors, with an inner courtyard and
commercial premises at the lower levels. When construction starts in Q3 2019,
the garage is the first to be built. Construction will then pause while the City
of Stockholm completes the street, after which the actual buildings will be
erected.
"We are thrilled to be entrusted with this project and look forward to a close
and involved collaboration with SKB. Kvarteret Lysosomen is Veidekke's fifth
project in Hagastaden. We have confidence in our presence there and in our
relations with the city and the surrounding property owners' ongoing projects,"
says Gunilla Lindgren, department manager at Veidekke Bygg Bostäder Stockholm.
The Hagastaden district in Stockholm is planned for completion by 2025, with
approx. 50,000 jobs and 6,000 residential units. Hagastaden comprises
educational institutions, companies, research institutes, hospitals, cafes and
restaurants, cultural and service buildings and parks - including one of
Stockholm's largest park initiatives, connecting Hagastaden with Hagaparken. The
metro station Hagastaden, with four access points, will be located on the new
"Gula linjen" (Yellow Line), which will connect Odenplan with Arenastaden in
Solna.
