Veidekke: New residential contract in Oslo

Veidekke has been commissioned by Fredensborg Bolig to build 149 apartments in four buildings with an underground storage and garage facility at Vollebekk in Oslo. The commission is a design and build contract valued at NOK 460 million, excluding VAT.

“We are very pleased to be able to start building another large housing project in Oslo. Vollebekk Stasjon is a quality project designed for rational production where we have contributed to the project right from the start. We thank Fredensborg for the trust they show us and look forward to the start of construction in the autumn, says department head Kaare Gilhus in Veidekke Bygg Oslo.

Fredensborg Bolig has maintained the pace of housing construction despite a challenging market, and this winter received the award "Norway's best-selling housing project" for Vollebekk Station.

"We are happy to start the construction of this project, and with Vollebekk Stasjon, we are providing Oslo with much-needed housing. Veidekke has contributed their expertise during the development phase, and we are pleased to have them continue with us in the construction phase," says Bjørn-Tore Rynning Olsen, CEO of Fredensborg Bolig.

The homes in the project range from one- to five-bedroom apartments from 37 to 104 m². All apartments will have private outdoor areas and welcoming public areas, roof terraces and social zones. The metro stop is just a stone’s throw away and a kindergarten, school, the local cultural centre and sports facilities.are all within walking distance.

Veidekke is already in the process of demolishing existing buildings on the site. Construction starts in October with planned completion in autumn 2026. Read more about the project here.
