Veidekke: Building more homes for OBOS in Tønsberg

OBOS has entered into an agreement with Veidekke to erect the third building stage with 52 environmentally certified apartments in the Teieparken project in Tønsberg. This will be a design and build contract valued at close to NOK 130 million, excluding VAT.

“We are pleased to extend our good cooperation with OBOS on the Teieparken residential project. This started with a partnership agreement on project development back in 2017, which proceeded to the development contract for the first 64 apartments in 2018 which have long since been completed. Overall, 232 apartments in Teleparken have been built or are under construction by Veidekke. We are grateful for the confidence shown in us to continue building,” says district manager Lars N. Hjertås of Veidekke Bygg Vestfold and Telemark.

Teieparken will be a green and vibrant city district in central Tønsberg. The actual park is public and will be at the heart of the vibrant residential community. Here there are walkways and plenty of space for play and recreational areas. The 52 apartments in the third building stage are in two buildings on three to five floors over an underground parking facility.

“The fact that OBOS is commissioning now provides continuity in the development that is very important for both parties. This ensures, among other things, that we can proceed with the same coordinated team, comprising both our own employees and partners at the construction site. We are also particularly appreciative that OBOS has the capability to start up housing projects in the current market,” Hjertås concludes.

Start of construction is immediately with handover scheduled for the spring of 2026. Read more about the project here. This contract is included in Veidekke's order book for the first quarter 2024.
