Veidekke: Building more homes at Jarlsø in Tønsberg

21 Nov 2022 12:12 CET

Veidekke has signed yet another agreement with Jarlsø Eiendom - this time to
build 33 apartments and associated underground parking as part of the Jarlsø
Fjordpark project in the municipality of Tønsberg. The contract is a design and
build contract valued at NOK 112 million excluding VAT.

"We are very grateful for the commission and for the fresh vote of confidence
from Jarlsø Eiendom. The fjordpark, situated in the middle of the island of
Jarlsø, will be the third project we have worked on together in recent years.
Good architecture and quality combined with the unique location have helped make
the island an attractive residential area for many," says Lars N. Hjertås,
District Manager at Veidekke Bygg Vestfold og Telemark.

Jarlsø Eiendom has been working to develop the residential area on the island of
Jarlsø not far from Tønsberg for a number of years. Thanks to the immediate
proximity of the fjord, residents can benefit from the archipelago and sea in
their own back yard. Following the construction of the bridge that saw the
island become accessible to the public, work began in 2007, and to date some 318
apartments have been completed. The Fjordparken project comprises 33 apartments
ranging from 53m2 to 160m2 in area, as well as underground car parking, communal
roof terraces, spa facilities and a fitness room.

"We are delighted to be continuing the development of Jarlsø in partnership with
Veidekke. We are well aware of what matters to our customers, and we are pleased
to have been able to offer that in this project which has been very well
received by the market," says Stian Røed of Jarlsø Eiendom.

The key to realising the project in a period of rising construction costs has
been the excellent cooperation between Jarlsø Eiendom, KB arkitekter and
Veidekke. Together, they have found solutions that combine to accommodate the
needs of apartment buyers, ensure the design remains appealing, and that there
is a good construction process in place.

Construction work has already started and handover is due by the end of 2024.
