Information about the construction work

Working hours 07:00-23:00
The project has permission to carry out weekend work, but this is only used when necessary.

Current and upcoming activities

Removal of site cabins

The temporary site cabins need to be cleared from the courtyard while the large crane is still in place. This work will take place during week 52. The walkway across the courtyard will be closed intermittently. Activities previously carried out in the cabins have now been relocated to the lower level of the existing high-rise building (Building J).

The new building reaches its full height

Work to complete the eighth and final floor is expected to finish around the turn of the year. Once this is done, the building will be sealed so that interior work can begin.

Temporary windows 

To allow interior work to start as quickly as possible, temporary windows have been fitted.

Courtyard improvements

Work on the courtyard will continue throughout January and February. Among other things, the covered walkway will be removed.

Facade Installation

The walls of the new building consist of two layers. On top of the inner grey concrete layer, the outer facade will be installed – panels featuring various cast patterns. You can view the wall construction in the full-scale mock-up located outside the main entrance at Vasagatan 1. Installation of the outer facade will begin in January and is expected to continue until August 2026.
