The Bollen block in Råsunda is under development under the auspices of Signalisten, the city of Solna’s public housing foundation. Veidekke has now been commissioned to build a residential block that will comprise 244 rental apartments, of which six residences adapted to special needs, as well as premises for a new health center.
“We look forward to working with Veidekke to develop the Bollen block into an attractive and sustainable section of Solna. This project signals the start of an expansion phase and a high pace in residential construction,” says Lars Jolérus, CEO of Signalisten.
The project is being implemented as a design-and-build contract, with groundwork and demolition starting in spring 2025, in parallel with the design phase. Four new buildings will replace current, lower buildings, while a five-story building will be preserved. The health center, which has been temporarily relocated, will move into new premises in one of the buildings. Varying in size from one to five rooms plus kitchen, the apartments are designed to appeal to a wide range of target groups.
Plans include a large garage and two new shelters below ground, as well as a waste disposal facility. The energy supply will incorporate solar panels. The new buildings will be certified in line with the Miljöbyggnad Silver environmental standard, which e.g. stipulates low energy consumption.
“We are looking forward to building more rental apartments in a “new” Råsunda neighborhood. Following years of slow markets, we are excited to be able to start construction of a large, high-quality rental project,” says Linus Wåhlin at Veidekke Construction Sweden.
The Bollen block is a complex project, presenting such challenges as high groundwater levels and a metro network under parts of the construction site, in a busy location, where residents, working businesses and traffic must be taken into account. The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2029.
The contract is included in the Q1 2025 order book.
