Skanska is investing around SEK 250 million in the third and final phase of a residential development in the Närheten block in the Kungsängen area of Uppsala, Sweden. The phase will comprise 66 condominium apartments as well as three commercial units.
The apartments will range from one to five rooms with kitchens, with most units featuring a balcony or patio. According to the developer, sustainability considerations have been incorporated throughout the project. The building will be constructed in concrete with a reduced climate impact, while energy performance will be supported by high-efficiency façades and windows.
The project will also include rooftop solar panels and systems for recovering waste heat in order to lower energy consumption and operating costs. As with Skanska’s other residential developments in Sweden, the buildings are planned to be certified under the Nordic Ecolabel scheme.
Construction of the final phase is scheduled to begin in February 2026, with completion and occupancy expected in autumn 2027.
