Veidekke ASA: Awarded major new contract in Bjørvika, Oslo
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke Entreprenør has signed a contract with A9 Palekaia AS (50% Thongård AS
and 50% HAV Eiendom AS) to build the whole of the major Diagonale project next
to the Opera House in the centre of Oslo, where TV2 will be the largest tenant.
This is a turnkey contract valued at NOK 800 million, excluding VAT.
Last autumn Veidekke was commissioned to build the cellar phase of the project,
a contract worth NOK 150 million. The new contract includes the cellar project
and boosts Veidekke's order backlog by NOK 650 million excl. VAT in the first
quarter.
The Diagonale project is located between Dronning Eufemias gate and Operagata.
The entire project will include around 400 student homes, 14,000 m(2) of offices
and 4,000 m(2) of retail premises, cafés and restaurants at street level. The
project consists of two buildings linked by a common cellar.
"We are now looking forward to watching the buildings rise. Diagonale is a
spectacular project in an extremely attractive location. The combination of
student accommodation, restaurants and offices will bring life to the area both
during the day and in the evenings. With Veidekke we have a contractor who knows
Bjørvika well and who has extensive expertise and the ability to execute this
type of project," says Øystein Trøseid, chairman of the board of A9 Palekaia AS.
"Diagonale is a strategically important project for Veidekke and will strengthen
our growth and position in Oslo. We are very grateful for the trust placed in us
and are looking forward to getting started on the rest of the construction
work," says District Manager Hans Olav Sørlie of Veidekke Entreprenør Oslo.
The work on the cellar phase started in November 2015. The office building is
scheduled to be completed in January 2018, and the student accommodation in July
the same year.
