The Frysja area lies between Maridalsvannet and Nydalen, and here industry is moving out to make way for people. In February 2018 Veidekke started building the first 154 apartments, and the entire project will comprise more than 900 residential units and some commercial property when completed. Frysjaparken will be a green and urban residential area where emphasis is on proximity to the forest. Green, screened-off courtyards with recreational areas, parks, roof gardens and areas for socialising will be built between the buildings. 

“We are proud and grateful for the renewed confidence from OBOS and Stor-Oslo Eiendom for Frysjaparken. The first stage is approaching completion towards the end of the year, and this contract allows us to extend the good partnership characterised by flexibility among all parties involved in the project. We have brought new technology and new processes into use to build faster, cheaper and more efficiently, and will now be able to develop this and our whole team further,” says director Anders W. Haugen of Veidekke Bygg Oslo. 

Building is expected to start in the third quarter, with occupation planned for the second half of 2021. More information about the project: www.obos.no/frysjaparken
