Before the summer, Nordr Norway selected Veidekke as the design and build
contractor for the Grønvoll quarter development at Helsfyr in Oslo. Now it is
ready for the first construction stage with 109 apartments, a commission valued
at NOK 382 million excl. VAT.
"We really appreciate the confidence shown in us by awarding us this commission,
as this is one of the largest housing projects starting up in Eastern Norway
this year with a total of more than 400 apartments. We have now demolished the
old buildings and are carrying out groundworks on the site. At the same time, we
are already planning for the next construction stage in the project along with
Nordr," says department manager Kaare Gilhus in Veidekke Bygg Oslo.
The first construction stage consists of two eight-story buildings with 46 and
63 apartments respectively, in addition an underground floor with storage rooms,
technical rooms and parking facilities for bicycles and cars. In one building,
there will be a local community space of 300 m2 across into two floors with
planned assembly and home office spaces as well as a bicycle workshop. In the
second building, there will be commercial activities on the ground floor.
In the courtyard between the buildings there will be a shared garden with varied
planting, several playgrounds and social zones with barbecue areas. There will
be shared roof terraces on four of the buildings with walkways between them. The
Grønvoll development will have Fyrstikktorget as its nearest neighbour and one
of the city's best public transport services.
The commission with the first construction stage will be entered into Veidekke's
order book for the third quarter. The contract between Veidekke and Nordr for
the entire Grønnvoll quarter was concluded in June and amounts to NOK 1.284
billion excl. VAT.
