– We are proud and happy to have been chosen to build this great project at Billingstad in Asker. Kobberkvartalet hits the heart of our strategy where we have been able to participate in a joint project development with one of our best returning customers. We thank Ferd for their trust and look forward to the start of construction in October, says Department Manager Kaare Gilhus at Veidekke Bygg Oslo.
Kobberkvartalet consists of a total of 420 apartments and is the last large residential project in Vestre Billingstad between Asker and Sandvika. The project has varied apartments from efficient one-room apartments of 30 m2 to larger homes of up to 118 m2. The first construction phase consists of 142 apartments in three buildings of five to seven floors, the common house and the basement of the entire project.
– Sales have exceeded our expectations and we are very pleased with the great interest in Kobberkvartalet. With 84 of 142 apartments sold in the first two sales stages, we look forward to starting construction after the summer. And we are very pleased to have Veidekke on board, says Housing Director Anders Holmlund at Ferd Eiendom.
Centrally located in the Kobberkvartalet, a spacious building with communal areas on several floors will be available for residents to use. There will be a grease trap and workshop in the basement with equipment and tools that can be shared, and there will be a separate guest apartment that can be rented when more space is needed.
Construction work is planned to start in October and move in at the beginning of 2028.
