EIB finances two green buildings projects of Atrium Ljungberg
The European Investment Bank has agreed a green energy loan of SEK1 billion ($107 million) with Swedish property owner and developer Atrium Ljungberg.
The unsecured eight-year loan will be used to finance the construction of two new energy-efficient buildings: Bas Barkarby in Järfälla, and Life City in Stockholm. The projects meet the EIB’s requirements for nearly-zero-energy buildings.
Construction of the first phase of Bas Barkarby started in the second quarter of 2019. Järfälla Municipality will lease almost 11,000 m2 for upper secondary education, a multi-purpose hall, a library and other cultural activities. Bas Barkarby will also comprise offices, a restaurant and a gym.
Life City is being built next to New Karolinska Solna University Hospital and will be a new centre for commercial development and services connected to healthcare, research and life science. The biggest tenant is Academic Work, which signed an agreement for 17,000 m2.
