Skanska develops, builds and leases out new premises for detention facility in Sollentuna – construction project valued at about SEK 650 M

Skanska will be responsible for a total solution, including planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the new detention facility in Sollentuna, north of Stockholm. The construction project is valued at an estimated SEK 650 M and is being included in order bookings for the first quarter.

A 25-year lease has been signed with Kriminalvården (Swedish Prison and Probation Service) for the new detention facility. The 23,600-square-meter facility will house 10 floors with 240 detention cells and an administration section.

“Kriminalvården has positive experience in facilities designed and built by Skanska. In Sollentuna the new detention facility will be linked with the new courthouse and the police station and form an efficient justice complex”, says Rolf Swenson, Property Manager, Kriminalvården.

“We are pleased and proud to be entrusted to develop this extensive and complex project. As the result of several similar projects over the years, we have developed a unique expertise in developing new premises for the various needs of the judicial system,” says Hans Johansson, Business Development Manager at Skanska Sweden.

Construction will be carried out by Skanska Sweden and begins in January 2008, with completion scheduled for spring 2010. The new detention facility will be located adjacent to the existing police station and the new Attunda courthouse, which is currently under construction by Skanska in a similar type of project.

In similar projects, Skanska has developed, built and been responsible for leasing of premises in Sweden to the police, the public prosecutor office and correctional authorities in Uppsala, Växjö, Flemingsberg and Malmö.

Skanska Sweden focuses on the construction of residential, public and commercial premises as well as the infrastructure throughout Sweden. The business unit has about 11,000 employees and reported revenues in 2006 of approximately SEK 24 billion. In Sweden, Skanska is also active in the development of residential and commercial properties.
