Veidekke has been commissioned by Ulsmo Eiendom to erect an office building that
will receive the Nordic Swan Ecolabel at Holssletta in Ålesund, and Veidekke
itself will be a tenant of the building. The contract is a design and build
contract valued at NOK 193 million excluding VAT.
"Implementing future-oriented construction projects with clear environmental
ambitions for customers who dare to think along new lines is something we
greatly appreciate. This will be one of the first offices in the country with a
low carbon concrete plus façade from our subsidiary Veidekke Prefab, which
significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to using ordinary
concrete. We appreciate the commission and are already looking forward to moving
in when it is completed," says district manager Stig Mork with Veidekke Bygg
Møre og Romsdal.
The building will be around 6,000 m2 across four floors above ground and a
basement with parking, and on the roof there will be a large terrace that will
be accessible for all of the building's tenants. Flexible wall solutions can
accommodate both office sharing, cubicles, meeting spaces and social zones. A
common canteen may be used for larger meetings and conferences. The traffic
terminal at Moa is within walking distance, and it is a short distance to
traffic hubs regardless of means of transport.
"A quarter of the energy demand for the new building at Holssletta will be
covered by solar panels on the roof. In addition, the landmark building next to
the E39 road will have energy label A, and become one of Norway's two first-ever
Nordic Ecolabelled office buildings. This means very strict requirements to
quality, environmental impact and the construction process," says Nils Peter
Skeide, head of commercial buildings with Ulsmo Eiendom.
"Good meeting spaces with social zones is one of the things we discussed early
on and emphasised in the planning work. We humans are created to meet, and that
is often how knowledge sharing and new ideas come about. The idea with the
design of the areas was precisely that competitors and partners should be able
to meet in various informal ways," says Chairman Ingerid Ulstein of Ulsmo
Eiendom.
Construction starts in October, with completion scheduled for the summer of
2026. The contract is included in Veidekke's order backlog for Q3 2024. Read
