VEIDEKKE ASA Veidekke has entered into an agreement with GE Healthcare AS to buy Nycoveien 2 in Oslo. The plan is to rezone the site for housing purposes.
Nycoveien 2 is in Nydalen in Oslo and consists of a site of approx. 8,500 m2 of commercial property. The building is currently primarily used as headquarters, R&D and production for GE Healthcare AS, who wish to consolidate this in other buildings. 50% of the property is leased until 1 October 2016, with an option for an extension. Veidekke considers the potential for the development of the property to be greatest if converted to housing purposes. This process will start immediately.
The property will be taken over 15 December 2014.
"This property has great potential in an attractive area and is a good addition to Veidekke's housing portfolio in the Oslo area. We will now commence work on developing the site for housing purposes and envision carrying this out under our own auspices in cooperation with Veidekke Entreprenør," says Managing Director of Veidekke Eiendom, Emil Paaske.
