Veidekke ASA: To to build water park and homes in Ålesund

Veidekke has entered into an agreement with Brødrene Jangaard AS to build Ålesund Bybad next to Utstillingsplassen in Ålesund. In connection with the water park, Veidekke will also build three apartment blocks. The contracts have an overall value of NOK 344 million excluding VAT. 

"In cooperation with Brødrene Jangaard, we have developed a water park that not only will be Sunnmøre's largest and most impressive, but will also top Molde," says district manager Stig Ivar Mork of Veidekke Møre og Romsdal. "This is a result of close and good cooperation with the client from an early stage in the planning. When we as a contractor contribute to the project from the start, we can exploit our wide range of expertise to develop a building that gives the customer, users and surroundings the greatest possible value," Mork concludes.

The new water park will have both a 50 meter training pool and a 25 meter pool with diving platform, in addition to a wave pool, therapy pool and water slides. Parts of the roof over the water park will be a play area with playground equipment. The water park will be located with direct access form Aksla Parking, which Veidekke built for Brødrene Jangaard a couple of years ago. Behind the water park Veidekke will build three apartment blocks with a total of 35 residential units and underground parking.

Construction work starts in November and is estimated to take two years, so residents of Ålesund can expect to enjoy a swim in the winter of 2020-2021. Construction of the apartment blocks will start on the basis of advance sales.
