Veidekke ASA : Veidekke wins a major shopping centre contract in Denmark
Veidekkes Danish subsidiary Hoffmann A/S has been commissioned by Danica Pension and Lægernes Pensionskasse to remodel and extend the Frederiksberg Centret shopping centre on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The value of the contract is DKK 450 million excluding VAT.
The extension to the shopping centre consists of adding a whole new storey, and the number of parking spaces is to be increased by 50% by means of a roof-top car park. The total retail area will be increased by some 10,000 m2, providing space for 25 new shops. In addition, the facades and interior are being upgraded.
"It has been a long and challenging process, which has succeeded thanks mainly to the good collaboration between the client, the local authorities, the contractor, the various advisers and the tenants in the centre. We have all done our utmost to complement each other, meaning construction can now start," says Torben Bjørk Nielsen, CEO of Hoffmann A/S.
