According to NCC, the housing will provide accommodation for nearly 500 students adjacent to Chalmers University of Technology.
The project includes mainly one-bedroom flats, with duo and duplex units featured in the tallest building. Plans also involve spaces for a café, restaurant and offices totalling approximately 2,500m2.
Chalmers Studentbostäder CEO Joakim Wallin said: “Following a meticulous evaluation of tenders, interviews and project organisations, we chose NCC because the company met our high standards and is a reliable and professional partner for the project.”
The Nya Holtermanska project will be among the first in Sweden to follow new building regulations and easements for student housing established by the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, which came into legal effect on 1 July 2025.
