Nordic construction company NCC and Eslövs Bostads AB (Ebo) will invest SEK 320 mln (€28 mln) in the reconversion of a former distillery in residential units and offices in in Eslöv, Sweden.
The turnkey contract is currently transitioning to the construction phase, with the first occupancy expected at the end of 2024.
As part of new construction and refurbishment of seven buildings, NCC plans to create 55 modern apartments, a new head office and showroom for Ebo as well as an underground garage.
Materials such as brick and wooden beams as well as stairs, windows and cast-iron columns will be reused wherever possible.
A great deal of consideration will be given to the property’s historic value and to current building regulations for accessibility, energy and climate, daylight and acoustics.
Ebo’s CEO Kristina Forslund, said: ‘Working in close collaboration with NCC, we will transform Eslöv’s former distillery into modern rental units and Ebo’s new offices. Reuse is the guiding principle and we want to preserve the feeling of the old industrial buildings, while meeting today’s digital expectations and building standards. The project includes many structural engineering challenges, such as keeping the façades intact.’
Henrik Landelius, head of NCC Building Sweden, added: ‘Ebo is a forerunner that can see the potential and the value in reusing high-quality materials, which is more important today than ever before. We are delighted to have been entrusted with this task, and look forward to helping to weave together Eslöv’s industrial history with the future.’
