The project encompasses a total of four buildings, partially joined in a `U' shape, comprising apartments, retail and office premises, storage spaces and a garage.

"With this new and innovative residential housing project, we are creating an entirely unique and modern local center in Uppsala. We are showing that, through ambitious sustainability targets, we can meet Uppsala's challenging climate requirements for 2025. Together with NCC, we are on the leading edge from a sustainability perspective, and we have already received inquiries about how to sign up for an apartment for this exact reason," says Bengt Malmgård, owner of Malmegårds Fastigheter AB.

In this project, NCC will make use of innovative technology to keep energy consumption down. For example, energy piling - where the piling is used to extract geothermal heat - is being tested. Using an optimized concrete frame with a high proportion of eco-friendly concrete, the project will also lower its carbon emissions by approximately 40 percent compared with the guidelines of the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning. This means that the project will have uniquely low energy consumption and carbon emissions. The goal is to meet the requirements for Miljöbyggnad 4.0 Gold.

"NCC's specialist expertise in carbon reduction technology means we can support our customers in achieving highly ambitious targets. We are pleased to be able to meet Malmegårds Fastigheter's stringent requirements through innovative solutions, new technology and close collaboration right from the start," says Niklas Sparw, Head of NCC Building Sweden.

The order value is approximately SEK 310 million and will be registered in the NCC Building Sweden business area in the first quarter of 2025. The project will commence in the first quarter of 2025 and the apartments are scheduled for occupancy in late 2027.
