Skanska is to sell the land and development project for the Swedish security service's new head office in Solna. The buyer is state-owned Specialfastigheter Sverige, which owns and manages buildings for special purposes like correctional facilities, police stations and reformatories.
Skanska Sweden's design and construction assignment amounts to about SEK 1 bn (EUR 104 mln), which will be included in order bookings for the third quarter.
The undeveloped land sold to Specialfastigheter comprises about 9,000 m2. In accordance with Skanska’s information policy, the sales profit for commercial development projects under execution is not disclosed.
The office property, which includes a total of 44,000 m2, will be developed and built in the new area Ingenting in Solna, which is in the Stockholm region. In addition to offices for about 800 people, the building will also house health and training premises, a shooting range and auto-repair workshop.
The project will be developed jointly by Specialfastigheter, Skanska Commercial Development Nordic and Skanska Sweden, in collaboration with Solna City.
'This will be the start for the new Ingenting area, with workplaces and housing in a fantastic central location,' said Lars-Erik Salminen, Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board of Solna.
The property is designed so that energy consumption will be at least 25% lower than the standard for the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, which is the requirement for the EU GreenBuilding label.
