Skanska, in cooperation with the property company Ferd Eiendom, is starting a new residential area in Oslo, Norway. Skanska’s share of the investment is amounting to approximately NOK 220 M, about SEK 250 M. Skanska is responsible for the entire construction contract, which amounts to NOK 312 M, about SEK 360 M, which will be included in fourth-quarter order bookings.
Skanska Residential Development Nordic and Ferd Eiendom each hold a 50-percent share in the Tiedemannsbyen project company which is the investor in land and buildings for the project.
The first phase of the new Tiedemannsbyen neighborhood will include apartment blocks with 174 units and 25 row houses, in addition to parking for cars and bikes. This is the first of three phases which are planned for the former industrial area that was the site of the Tiedemanns tobacco plant in the Ensjø district of Oslo.
In collaboration with Oslo Municipality, a green profile will be created for the area involving renewable energy, environmentally friendly materials and the preservation of nature values.
Construction work will commence in January 2011 and will be completed by April 2013.
Skanska Residential Development Nordic initiates and develops residential areas for apartment blocks and single-family homes. At mid-2010, the business area had approximately 3,300 new homes in production, of which about 3.000 in the Nordics. About 350 employees are active within Skanska Residential Development in Sweden, Skanska Kodit in Finland and Skanska Bolig in Norway.
