Atrium is Skanska's first development project at Havneholmen, where the company has an additional 40,000 m2 of building rights. 'We are noting robust demand for real estate projects in the Öresund region, particularly for office premises. Interest is considerable from both investors and tenants and we are continuing to create new projects,' said Richard Hultin, president of Skanska Öresund. The building is designed by Gert Wingårdh architects and the construction assignment is being conducted by Skanska Denmark.
