The undeveloped land sold to Specialfastigheter comprises about 9,000 square meters. In accordance with Skanska's information policy, the sales profit for commercial development projects under execution is not disclosed. The office property, which includes a total of 44,000 square meters, will be developed and built in the new area, Ingenting, in Solna in the Stockholm region. In addition to offices for about 800 people, the building will also house health and training premises, shooting range and auto-repair workshop. The project will be developed jointly by Specialfastigheter, Skanska Commercial Development Nordic and Skanska Sweden, in collaboration with Solna City. The property is designed so that energy consumption will be at least 25 percent lower than the standard for the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, which is the requirement for EU GreenBuilding label. The construction work will commence immediately and is scheduled for completion in 32 months. Skanska will implement the work according to the Green Workplace concept, which is Skanska Sweden's own environmental label for construction sites. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
