Veidekke department head Morten Barreth said: “Mathildetunet will be the seventh construction stage in Skårerbyen and Veidekke’s first commission in the extensive Lørenskog project.
“The contract attracted several bidders, so we are very pleased to have won the competition for the commission. We really appreciate the confidence shown in us and are looking forward to extending the good partnership we have with Selvaag Bolig from other ongoing residential projects.”
Construction work has commenced, with the project’s completion and handover anticipated for the second half (H2) of 2025.
