In recent years Veidekke has increased its activities in Bergen. There has therefore long been a desire to gather the overall business in a new regional office with building, property and industrial operations. In partnership with Instanes Eiendom (25%) and Thunes Holding (25%), Veidekke Eiendom (50 %) has developed office premises at Fantoft in Bergen.
“In Fantoftparken we will put Veidekke’s environmental ambitions into practice. This will be Bergen’s most sustainable office building, and that has also made it possible to achieve good lending terms through so-called green financing from DNB,” says regional director of Veidekke Eiendom, Lars Rune Folkedal.
“We would like to congratulate Veidekke with a very future-oriented and sustainable project. Fantoftparken’s qualities and ambitions qualify for a green building loan from DNB. We’re looking forward to following Veidekke and their strategy going forward in the green shift, with an aim of a significant boost in sustainability related to property, building and construction,” says client manager with DNB, Truls Arnesen.
Fantoftparken will be certified in accordance with the BREEAM Excellent environmental standard and has the support of Enova. There will be extensive use of massive wood, and the building will also have significant own energy production from solar panels on the roof. A dedicated battery system in the cellar will ensure maximum utilisation of self-produced energy. Additionally, the office building will be based on shared mobility solutions that minimise the use of private cars.
Construction starts now, and completion is scheduled for February 2021.
