Veidekke lands NOK 980M trondheim station district contract

Bane NOR Eiendom has awarded Veidekke a NOK 980 million ($100 million) design-build contract to construct the environmentally certified StasjonsKvartalet (Station District) next to the new Trondheim central station.

The project spans two city blocks totaling 38,000 sq.m. and includes:

• 234 apartments in 3-6 story residential buildings
• 5,500 sq.m. of retail and office space facing Gryta street
• A covered regional bus terminal with direct train station access
• A 500-bicycle public parking facility for travelers
• An underground garage with 140 parking spaces

Sustainability is a high priority, with the project targeting BREEAM-NOR “Very Good” environmental certification.

“We thank Bane NOR for this assignment and look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration after the successful interaction phase on the new terminal and office building set to complete this year,” said Torgeir Wiig, Veidekke’s regional director.

Bane NOR project director Dag Haugdal highlighted it as “one of Norway’s most ambitious transit hub developments, creating a modern, vibrant new district with seamless mobility that strengthens accessibility and sustainable urban development.”

Construction will start after the summer holidays, with a planned two-phase completion in early and late 2028. The contract value is included in Veidekke’s Q1 order backlog.

The large residential component aligns with Veidekke’s strategic focus on housing in major Nordic urban growth centers amid rising demand.
