Veidekke ASA: Homes sales at Veidekke at a historic high
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke sold a total of 462 homes during the first quarter of 2015. Sales have
been very good in both Norway and Sweden
Veidekke's housing development activity following the first quarter of 2015 is
high in both Norway and Sweden, with good sales and more homes being produced.
In total 462 homes were sold at a value of NOK 1.69 billion. This is the
strongest home sales result the Veidekke group has ever produced in one single
quarter.
The highest activity in Norway is found in the south-eastern area, but sales are
also good in Trondheim and Kristiansand. Activity is high in Sweden in all our
focus areas, comprising Gothenburg, Skåne and Greater Stockholm
"We have been successful in all our new projects in both Norway and Sweden and
currently sales are very good. This means that in the time ahead we shall start
building more new projects. Sales of homes in Sweden have continued to increase
with Stockholm as the most important market. Following several quarters of lower
activity in Norway, the increased sales provide a foundation for producing more
homes during the coming quarters", says CEO and President Arne Giske.
The number of homes currently in production is 1,499, with Veidekke's share
being 1,237. The corresponding figure for the 1st quarter of 2014 was 1,586 with
Veidekke's share being 1,175. The overall sales ratio for projects under
construction is 81% (73%). The overall sales value in the quarter was NOK 1.69
billion, of which Veidekke's share was NOK 1.16 billion.
