Veidekke: New housing commission in Ålesund

Veidekke has been commissioned by Planor Bolig AS to construct the Daaehagen housing project in the Ålesund neighbourhood of Moa. The project comprises 34 units across three apartment buildings, as well as underground car parking facilities and children’s playgrounds. The contract is a design and build contract valued at NOK 116 million excluding VAT. 

“We are so grateful for the vote of confidence and we look forward to establishing a close partnership with this new customer. The housing market is perceived by some to be facing challenges at present, which makes it particularly gratifying to see that sales are going well. It is great that a combination of quality and location still works,” says Stig Mork, District Manager of Veidekke Bygg Møre og Romsdal. 

The three apartment buildings are three, four and five storeys tall, respectively, and will accommodate apartments ranging in size from 57 to 153 m². Each apartment has its own balcony, while some feature private roof terraces. There will be underground car parking and rich and varied outdoor areas including two children’s playgrounds. The development is situated in a central location within walking distance of restaurants, golf courses and one of Norway’s largest shopping malls offering more than 200 retail outlets.

“We are delighted to sign this contract with Veidekke as we embark on a major new construction project in the Ålesund neighbourhood of Moa. This is a project that we have worked hard to bring to fruition and that we can all be proud of. The development will not only be attractive to those who buy homes in it to move into, but also to neighbours in the local area. There will be neighbourhood playgrounds for children, as well as new paths,” says Bernt Ove Vågsæter, CEO of Planor Bolig.

Design work is well underway and groundworks have just begun. The homes will be ready for occupancy during the second quarter of 2025. Read more about the project here.

This commission is included in Veidekke’s order book for Q2.
