A 25-year lease has been signed with Kriminalvården (Swedish Prison and Probation Service) for the new detention facility. Skanska Sweden will carry out construction which is due to commence immediately and is expected to be completed by spring 2010. The new facility will house 10 floors with 240 detention cells and an administration section. It will be located adjacent to the existing police station and the new Attunda courthouse, which is currently under construction by Skanska in a similar type of project.
Skanska has developed, built and been responsible for leasing of several other premises for the police, the public prosecutor office and correctional authorities in Uppsala, Växjö, Flemingsberg and Malmö.
'We are pleased and proud to be entrusted to develop this extensive and complex project. As the result of several similar projects over the years, we have developed a unique expertise in developing new premises for the various needs of the judicial system,' said Hans Johansson, business development manager at Skanska Sweden.
