This contract marks the fourth development phase that Veidekke has signed with Jarlsø Eiendom as part of the ongoing development of the island just outside Tønsberg.
"We are very proud and pleased that Jarlsø Eiendom has chosen us as the design and build contractor for yet another project at Jarlsø. This is the fourth consecutive project we are carrying out together on the island, and we are committed to delivering the same high quality this time as well. Very few residential projects are being launched at the moment, which makes the decision to proceed with construction particularly gratifying," says Lars N. Hjertås, Director of Veidekke Bygg Øst. He also highlights the close and productive collaboration with KB arkitekter on a project that offers many attractive qualities.
Jarlsø Eiendom has been developing the residential community at Jarlsø, just outside Tønsberg, since 2007. The project is located along the waterfront on the northern side of the island, with immediate access to the sea. The 28 apartments are housed in an elongated building that gradually rises to four storeys. Apartment sizes range from 65 square metres for the smallest unit to 185 square metres for the largest.
The building will offer a range of shared amenities, including two rooftop terraces, a guest cabin, and a community house. A public sauna will also be established at the new marina. In addition, a new pier and swimming area will be developed along the waterfront in front of the building. Jarlsø Brygge is the eighth development phase undertaken by Jarlsø Eiendom. Stian Røed of Jarlsø Eiendom is pleased to move forward with another phase of the development project.
"There has been strong sales activity in this phase, and we are delighted to begin construction of Jarlsø Brygge together with Veidekke. Over time, we have built a close and solid partnership here at Jarlsø, and we now look forward to continuing that collaboration," says Røed.
Construction of Jarlsø Brygge will commence immediately, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of 2028. The contract will be included in Veidekke's order backlog for the third quarter of 2026.
