Building Europe’s largest wind tunnel in Malmö

Betonmast, a subsidiary of AF Gruppen, has signed a contract with FlyCan (JöLa Invest AB) to build a new event building in Malmö. This turnkey contract is valued at approximately SEK 140 million excluding VAT.

The project comprises construction of a new event building with a wind tunnel, padel halls, lounge, spa and restaurant, gym and offices in Malmö’s new Hyllie city district. The wind tunnel will be the largest of its kind in Europe with a 35 metre tall wind tower and solar panels on the roof. The project’s overall area will be around 10,000 square metres, including a lower, adjacent building.

“We’re looking forward to developing the Hyllie skyline,” says Jørgen Evensen, CEO of Betonmast. “Having the opportunity to build Europe’s biggest wind tunnel is really great.”

Construction will start in the third quarter of 2021. The project is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2022.
