The project involves 45,000 m2, including a 11,000-m2 parking garage.
Skanska said the airport hangar from 1947 is listed historical monument and parts of the exterior must therefore retain the original character. Preliminary excavation work has begun and the entire project is scheduled for completion during spring 2010.
'The favourable location, the exciting architectural environment and the substantial purchasing power in the area will make Bromma Centre one of the most interesting retail centers in the Stockholm area,' said Bernt-Olof Gustavsson, president of KF Fastigheter.
Skanska Sweden has 11,000 employees and generated revenues totalling about EUR 2.7 bn in 2007. Skanska is also active in the development of residential and commercial premises in Sweden.
