Veidekke ASA: To build environmentally-certified offices in Malmö

Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB has awarded Veidekke the contract to build the Sirius office building in the Nyhamn development area in Malmö. All of Wihlborgs' properties are given environmental certification, and Sirius will have the highest classification, which is Miljöbyggnad Gold. The project is a collaborative contract valued at SEK 180 million, excluding VAT.

Veidekke will erect a building 11,000 m² in size with approximately 500 workplaces in flexible offices, and a ground floor with opportunities for retail and other commercial activities. The building will be just next to Malmö Central Station, and this location affords the users the best opportunities to use environmentally-friendly public transport such as bus and train.

"Since we started work we have cooperated closely with Wihlborgs and the other involved parties such as architects, builders and fitters to develop Sirius into a beautiful and functional office building. The project work is already characterized by transparency and involvement from all parties in order to achieve the best result possible," says Veidekke's Work Manager Karl Lindberg

Construction has started, and the building is to be ready for occupation in the course of 2017.
