By GlobalDataSolna Municipal Executive Board chairman Pehr Granfalk said: “The development of central Huvudsta is by far Solna’s largest and most complex urban development project, as the railway will be put underground and lined with new buildings. It therefore feels good that we are working with two companies that have extensive experience of urban development in complex metropolitan environments.”
Solna’s Municipal Executive Board is expected to sanction the agreement on 29 March 2021.
Fabege president and CEO Stefan Dahlbo said: “Along with our current development of Arenastaden, Haga Norra and Solna Business Park, the land acquisition is a natural addition that contributes to new value-creating opportunities in Solna in a long-term perspective. The geographical location and Solna’s many advantages mean that we are keen to increase our portfolio in the area.”
Part of this extensive acquisition, Skanska Sweden’s 85,000 m2 of land acquisition will be giving rise to housing with scope for service outlets such as restaurants at the street level, along with a communal home for supported housing and two nursery schools.
The emergence of a new commuter train station in Huvudsta and a new station entrance for Sundbyberg station in Solna Business Park will improve public transport accessibility in the area.
