After very good residential sales for Mariakvartalet in Bjørvika, Oslo S
Utvikling (OSU) has commissioned Veidekke to complete the basement of the
environmentally certified residential project. The value of the contract is NOK
116 million excluding VAT.

In Mariakvartalet, 246 apartments, a kindergarten, shops, restaurants and
cultural facilities will be built. The homes will be certified as Very Good in
accordance with the BREEAM-NOR manual. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions
will be reduced by at least 20%, the construction site will be fossil-free, and
there are strict requirements to separation at source and minimising waste. The
project was designed by Lund+Slaatto Arkitekter.

At the end of May, Veidekke was awarded the NOK 260 million commission to build
the first part of the basement, and with the new commission the basement will be
completed. In the basement floors there will be storage rooms, various common
areas and common functions in addition to parking for bicycles and cars.

"We have experienced a great deal of interest in Mariakvartalet, and have sold
more than 60 apartments in recent weeks. This sales success means that we are on
track with the project and can put the next sales stage on the market as early
as before Christmas. OSU has high demands towards both quality and sustainable
solutions, and Veidekke has shown that they understand our goals and have the
expertise to implement our ambitious plans. We're looking forward to working
closely together at Mariakvartalet," says Jostein Ådalen, Project Manager at
OSU.

Veidekke has been involved in a lot of construction in Bjørvika, including the
Opera, Munch Museum, Oslo Atrium, Diagonale and the Sørengstranda residential
project. OSU is behind many of the developments in Bjørvika, including Barcode
and the Vannkunsten residential project that won the 2021 Building of the Year
Award.

The assignement is included in Veidekke's order book for the fourth quarter. The
contract between Veidekke and OSU for the entire Mariakvartalet project is NOK
1.037 billion excluding VAT. The remainder of the contract sum will be included
in Veidekke's order book when sufficient sales for further commencement have
been achieved.
