Before the summer, Nordr Norge selected Veidekke as the design and build
contractor for the Grønvoll quarter development at Helsfyr in Oslo. Now the
second construction stage with 139 apartments and a parking facility has been
given the go-ahead, a commission valued at NOK 385 million excl. VAT.
"We really appreciate being able to extend the good partnership in the project
after we were commissioned with the first construction stage in August. This is
much needed new housing in Oslo at a time when far too few housing projects are
being initiated. We are of course also very pleased to build more homes for one
of our best customers and achieve continuity in the project," says department
manager Kaare Gilhus with Veidekke Bygg Oslo.
The second construction stage consists of 139 apartments in a 10 to 14-storey
building, in addition an underground floor with storage rooms, technical rooms
and parking facilities for bicycles and cars. The building will have a common
roof terrace with a footbridge over to a larger roof terrace on the neighbouring
building as well as a large common garden that is sheltered from the
surroundings. The Grønvoll development will have Fyrstikktorget as its closest
neighbour with one of the city's best public transport offerings.
"We are incredibly proud that the Grønvoll quarter has become one of the most
popular residential projects in the capital and that the second construction
stage remains the best-selling building project in Norway so far this year. Now
we are delighted with the sales start we had recently, where we sold over half
of the apartments that were put up for sale.," says Henning Wettre Hanevold, CEO
of Nordr Norge AS.
Construction work starts at the start quite immediately with handover scheduled
for the late summer of 2027.
The commission with this second construction stage will be entered into
Veidekke's order book for the fourth quarter. The contract between Veidekke and
Nordr for the entire Grønnvoll quarter was concluded in June and amounts to
approximately NOK 1.3 billion excl. VAT.
