Veidekke ASA: Rebuilding Halden Storsenter

Halden municipal pension fund has awarded Veidekke's subsidiary Øst AS the

contract to remodel Halden Storsenter. The former shopping centre is to become a

culture and multi-purpose building for the town's population and will include a

cineplex and library, among other things. This will be a design and build

contract valued at close to NOK 130 million, excluding VAT.

The contract comprises detailed design and engineering and remodelling of Halden

Storsenter from shopping centre to multi-purpose building with a cineplex,

library, family centre, Halden volunteer centre, youth club, Edderkoppen

Gavemakeri and operational services. The project entails a full transformation

and a significant improvement to the area in line with Halden's urban

development goals. The reuse of existing buildings is future-oriented use of

resources and an example to be followed. The total area to be remodelled

comprises slightly more than 11,500 square metres, and the cineplex comprises

1,500 m[2] with three state-of-the-art cinemas.

"We really appreciate the confidence shown in us, and are looking forward to

starting construction in a few weeks. It is a great pleasure and an honour to be

awarded a contract that will mean so much to many of Halden's inhabitants when

completed. It was also Veidekke who built Halden Storsenter more than 20 years

ago, and this makes it special that we as a local player will also be

responsible for the remodelling," says general manager Bård Degnes of Veidekke's

subsidiary Øst AS.

Construction work starts in September, with completion scheduled for October
