Første massivtre-boligprosjekt i Stockholm

Cederhusen Project is a construction endeavor by Veidekke Eiendom in partnership with Folkhem, aimed at creating the first residential project in Stockholm made from cross-laminated timber (massivtre). The project has generated significant market interest, reflecting a growing awareness of sustainability and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Veidekke, a major Scandinavian contractor and real estate developer with a turnover of around 39 billion NOK and 8,600 employees, is the main driver behind this ambitious initiative.

234 leiligheter over fire bygg

The Cederhusen Project involves the construction of four residential buildings, comprising a total of 234 apartments with varying sizes and layouts. The buildings will have heights ranging from 10 to 13 stories. The first phase includes the construction of 60 apartments across a building featuring ten stories, where the first two floors are built with concrete for structural stability, and the subsequent eight floors are made from cross-laminated timber adorned with a cedar facade. Strategically located over the E4/E20 tunnels and near the subway entrance in Hagastaden, the project prioritizes classic Scandinavian design and craftsmanship with extensive use of wood both externally and internally.

Reduserte utslipp med massivt tre

Sustainability is a core focus of the Cederhusen Project, with the use of mass timber expected to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional building materials. Benefits include enhanced living comfort through noise reduction and climate optimization facilitated by a dedicated team and ongoing research projects. The project aligns with the broader trends observed in similar successful timber construction projects, such as the one in Lilleby, Trondheim, which saw higher sales rates and a 45% reduction in material-induced greenhouse gas emissions.

Flerfaseutvikling; neste ferdig høst 2022

The project timeline reveals multiple phases with continuous development. The latest phase commenced with the construction of another ten-story building, enhancing the project's scale further. This phase, part of a dual contract valued at approximately SEK 108 million, is expected to be ready for occupancy by fall 2022. As construction progresses, potential risks such as economic fluctuations and material supply disruptions due to global events like the COVID-19 pandemic are being managed to maintain project momentum and success.
