Veidekke: New project for OBOS at Ulven
Veidekke has signed a contract with OBOS to build yet another stage of the major
residential project at Ulven in eastern Oslo. The contract includes building 180
apartments, a parking facility, guest parking and a kindergarten with six units.
The contract is a design and build contract valued at NOK 523 million excluding
VAT.
Ulvenkroken is the third project to be built by Veidekke at Ulven. The finished
project will have beautiful parks and market squares in the immediate vicinity,
underground parking and car-free sections of street on both sides. The location
is central in what will be the new Ulven, with only a short walking distance
from the shopping centre and metro station at Økern.
"We are pleased with the confidence placed in us and are appreciative of yet
another contract here at Ulven. For Ulvenkroken, together with OBOS and our
partners in Team Veidekke, we have further developed our efficient collaborative
model in order to build attractive homes that most people can afford," says EVP
Hans Olav Sørlie with Veidekke Bygg.
"The contract with Veidekke ensures progress in the development of Ulven and
Hovinbyen. These are demanding times for housing producers with the current
market situation and commodity prices. With a tight housing market in the Oslo
region, it is important for OBOS to maintain the start-up of new projects to
ensure members access to new housing. Veidekke delivers efficient projects,
which is crucial when we build around 2,000 homes on Ulven in the next few
years," says Arne Baumann, Executive Vice President for Housing Development at
OBOS.
Construction work starts in August with completion scheduled for before
Christmas in 2024. Find more information about the project at www.obos.no/ulven
The contract is included in Veidekke's order backlog for the second quarter.
Team Veidekke DA comprises Veidekke Bygg Oslo, Bravida Norge, LPO Arkitekter,
Multiconsult, Dr techn. Olav Olsen and Landskaperiet.
