Wallenstam has obtained a land reservation to develop the district next to Lidingöbron (Lidingö Bridge) in Ropsten, Stockholm. The land reservation, which covers a long and narrow plot of land directly north of the bridge on the Stockholm side, gives Wallenstam the exclusive right to negotiate on land allocation agreements for the site. Prior to this, a number of investigations need to be carried out, among other things. The district may include at least 65,000 square metres (gross floor area) with apartments, offices, retail space and parking. The area is part of the Norra Djurgårdsstaden urban development area. This includes part of the properties Hjorthagen 1:3 and Ladugårdsgärde 1:9. The areas next to Lidingöbrön in Ropsten will be developed into a dense city environment. A bus terminal for buses to Lidingö will be located here and a connection will be built to the Stockholm metro so that travellers can walk over Bobergagatan from the metro to the bus. “Of course this is in a very early phase and it is a complex project with huge potential for exciting urban development. We are very happy to have this opportunity to develop this city district together with the City of Stockholm, the Stockholm County Council and SL. We will also be able continue our involvement in Norra Djurgårdsstaden where we have already built rental apartments,” says Mathias Aronsson, Deputy CEO, Wallenstam. The project will develop a future hub for public transport while creating a retail centre with services for travellers, residents and those working in the area. “We want to create a lively and pleasant city district which is active during the day as well as in the evening by providing new homes, a lively retail centre and a well-functioning public transport hub,” says Aronsson.
