2026-09-25 14:03:07
Veidekke has been awarded the contract to construct the fourth phase of the
Bryggebyen development project in Arendal for Vindholmen Eiendom AS. The design
and build contract is valued at approximately NOK 190 million, excluding VAT.
Bryggebyen is a major urban development project in Arendal, initiated by
Arendals Fossekompani. Phase 4 is the first stage of the development that
Veidekke will undertake.
"We greatly appreciate the trust that Vindholmen Eiendom and Arendals
Fossekompani have placed in us through this contract, and we are now looking
forward to commencing the construction works," says Atle Monan, District Manager
at Veidekke Bygg Agder.
The project comprises the construction of 51 apartments together with a parking
facility and shared outdoor areas, marking an important step in the continued
development of Bryggebyen at Vindholmen.
"We are pleased to be working with Veidekke on yet another project and to
contribute to the further development of the local community in Arendal. The
project will generate important economic activity and opportunities for local
businesses and suppliers, including consultants, contractors, and everyone
involved. Construction cranes will soon return to the city, and we look forward
to seeing the project take shape," says Tor Kristian Skår Myre, Project Manager
at AFK Eiendom.
The seven-storey building will contain one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments
ranging from 47 to 109 square metres, all with sea views. Every unit will have
either a terrace or a balcony. In addition, residents will enjoy access to a
shared garden and an annex building featuring guest accommodation. Facilities
will also include bicycle storage, a shared hobby room/workshop, guest rooms,
and a summer lounge.
"Bryggebyen is an exciting project that will leave its mark on Arendal for many
years to come. Veidekke has strong local roots and looks forward to contributing
our experience and expertise throughout the execution of the project," says Ole
Morten Sundsdal, Department Manager at Veidekke Bygg Agder.
Construction of Bryggebyen will commence around the turn of the year and is
scheduled for completion by June 2028. The contract will be included in
Veidekke's order backlog for the third quarter of 2026.
