Veidekke: Building homes for Fredensborg Bolig

Fredensborg Bolig has commissioned Veidekke to perform groundworks and build the first 81 apartments with underground parking in the Poulssons Kvarter residential project at Fornebu in Bærum. The contract is a design and build contract valued at just over NOK 340 million excluding VAT.

“We have enjoyed very good cooperation with Fredensborg in developing the project through 2023 and 2024. Poulssons Kvarter is being developed with the emphasis on good architecture, robust solutions and environmentally sound material choices, and the good sales in the project show that the homes have found their mark in the market. We thank Fredensborg for their confidence and look forward to continuing our good cooperation through the construction of the project,” says Morten Barreth of Veidekke.

The first construction stage consists of the apartment block Rode, which is on seven and eight floors plus a common underground parking facility. The homes are adapted to people of all life phases and cover a large span, with everything from a luxurious top floor with private roof terraces to efficient smaller two-room apartments. Residents enjoy a number of common areas and facilities that facilitate living quality and a good neighbourhood, and there will be a separate car sharing service for those who wish.

“The interest in Poulssons Kvarter is good and with a sales ratio of over 60 the project is ready for construction start. We are now entering the project’s next phase with Veidekke on the team, and will start construction in March,” says CEO of Fredensborg Bolig, Bjørn-Tore Rynning Olsen.  

Planned completion of the first construction stage is December 2026. Read more about the project here. The commission is included in Veidekke’s order book for the fourth quarter of 2024. In the agreement, Fredensborg Bolig has an option for an additional 114 homes worth NOK 290 million excluding VAT.
