Peab has been commissioned to build 182 student apartments in Lappskärsberget close to the University of Stockholm. The customer is Stockholms Studentbostäder and the contract is worth SEK 225 million.

The building will be certified according to Miljöbyggnad, level Silver. The façade will made of brick in the same style as the four block towers of the first stage which Peab will soon hand over to Stockholms Studentbostäder.
