OBOS has given Veidekke the assignment to build the circular housing project Oen
with 133 apartments at Ammerud in Oslo. The construction contract is a turnkey
contract worth 490 million kroner excluding VAT.

- We are very pleased to finally get started with this circular project in a
double sense for one of our very best customers. It has been over seven years
since we started planning to build the circle with Obos, and we are looking
forward to building a climate-friendly apartment building with a passive house
shell and renewable energy from solar cells on the entire roof. This is a
brilliant example of how it is possible to realize something groundbreaking and
visionary in a tough market if you have ambitious and skilled people at the
client, architect and contractor, says department manager Kaare Gilhus at
Veidekke Bygg Oslo.

The 133 apartments are spread over four to five floors, along with common rooms
such as reception room, guest rooms and hobby rooms where you can lubricate your
skis, wash your dog or repair your bike. In the basement there will be storage
rooms and parking facilities for bicycles and cars. Oen will be a so-called zero
-emission building, which means that the building will produce enough energy to
compensate for the energy use for operating the building. This is achieved
mainly from 1,400 solar panels on the roof and by the building itself being
built to passive house standards with energy class A.

- Now we can finally get this project in Groruddalen realized. There is a great
need for more housing in this part of Oslo, and many interested parties have
already expressed interest in buying a home here. Oen is an exciting and
sustainable project that will help to lift the entire area, says Executive Vice
President Ingunn Andersen Randa at OBOS.

Construction work is planned to start in April and be handed over in the spring
of 2027. The contract will be included in Veidekke's order reserve for the first
quarter of 2025.
