Construction start for quayside area in Stockholm's new district

Construction start for quayside area in Stockholm's new district Construction is now starting in Liljeholmskajen's quayside area and includes four 21-storey tower blocks. This will create a new Stockholm skyline. The new district is developing steadily with new public transport, public areas and various housing alternatives in 2,800 apartments. A decision has also been made to test the feasibility of building 200 small flats in tenant-owned form for young people. This new phase of the district includes four out of a total of seven planned blocks along Liljeholmskajen. Since each block is being given a different design, with a variety of low and high buildings and open and closed areas, conditions are being created for a district full of diversity. At the same time as new decisions are regularly taken to develop the ongoing extension of the area, people are moving into the first blocks. A varied mix of households is attracted to the new district - a large number of young people as well as senior citizens. Most of them are from southern suburbs or the inner city and their choice of home is determined by the central location, closeness to water, communications and services. Liljeholmskajen is being extended in phases and when everything is completed in about 2011 will comprise some 2,800 apartments for approximately 7,000 residents. The project is a co-operation between JM AB and Sveriges BostadsrättsCentrum SBC.
