Start of construction of 147 apartments in Umami
Planning permission has now been granted for Umami Park, Hallonbergen. Therefore preparatory work is starting for the construction of the first phase of 147 rental apartments and commercial space in the ground floors for restaurants and retail. The first tenants are expected to be able to take up residence in Umami Park during 2019.
“We are delighted to be now underway and properly start work on the first phase of Umami Park with just over 147 apartments and important commercial space. During the coming 10-year period, we will develop a new inspiring district here featuring a broad choice of housing, stores, restaurants, meeting places and open spaces,” says Mathias Aronsson, Deputy CEO with responsibility for the Stockholm/Uppsala region.
In total, about 900 new apartments are planned, which will be complemented with business premises and meeting places in the new district. Preparatory work is now underway to establish the first phase before the major stages of construction begin and are in full swing.
“Our vision for Umami is not just to construct new buildings. We also want to contribute to the development of an inspiring area where adventure, experiences and international meetings are important components,” says Mathias Aronsson.
The name “Umami” comes from the fifth basic taste, something that everyone recognizes but perhaps cannot define on the spot. Mixed architecture, a mix of rental and cooperative apartments and a focus on health, activities and proximity to adventure and experiences will help to create this sensation.
