Olivin

After many years of planning and discussing, it was decided that Skanska could build a new office building at the property known as triangeltomten at Lindhagensgatan on Kungsholmen at Hornsberg. It will be known as Olivinoffice. There used to be an old bus depot here, but it will be replaced with nearly 900 new apartments. I shot this as a vertical panorama, using the Canon 77D, and the 60mm lens.

Stockholm is expanding rapidly

One thousand two hundred and forty new apartments currently under construction by seven contractors along Tegelviksgatan on Södermalm in Stockholm. This is an old bus-depot turned into new a housing area for a number of thousand people. There will also be a new park here somewhere. Photographed as a panorama as I made my way up to the top of the hill at Fåfängan from where you have an amazing view over the city. I will show you those photos tomorrow.

Lillgårdsskolan

Turbinen has started the construction of a new school at Lillgården in Tungelsta. It will be surrounded by the apartment building at Odlargränd that you can see here and by the row-houses and the retirement home also built by the same company a few years ago. The school will be built in a classical style, have around 400 students, and will be operated by Jensen education. The school will open in the Autumn of 2022. I took the photo through a fence at the bus stop yesterday afternoon.

The Clearing

New apartment complex currently under construction at Parkstråket in Handen. It is called Sjögläntan. That can be translated to The Clearing. This is a panorama made from 12 photos. I used the 70-300mm lens on the Canon 77D. The rainbow appeared just as I started to shoot. It started to snow a couple of hours ater I snappe this.

What symbolises growth and progress?

This used to be a little forest with a bunch of old Summer houses. All but one house disappeared quite a few years ago. The new apartment buildings here at Kvarteret Sjögläntan in Handen are just a short walk from the Rudan nature reserve, and it is also very close to the mall and the commuter station so this will most likely be a popular place to live. brfsjoglantan1.se/

Radhus

Currently 116 apartments under construction at Ribby Ängar in Västerhaninge. Construction started in August of 2017, and this, the third phase of this project will finish in the next few months. bit.ly/2V0UkY2

Fuchs Lubricants Sweden AB

A few more photos from Fuchs Lubricants new plant currently under construction at Vitsåvägen in Västerhaninge. Looks like good progress, I showed you a few snaps from this construction site last month.

Construction Dialogue

Byggdialog. That is the name of the builder. And that word works well here at Vitsåvägen in Fors, Västerhaninge, as there have been a long and heated dialogue between the unhappy neighbours and the Haninge municipality about this project. Fuchs Lubricants (previously Statoil owned), with 70 employees decided to close their, (unmodern), factory in Nynäshamn and build a new one here at Fors. The workers, (and politicians), in Nynäshamn were of course very unhappy to see the company go. And the neighbours in Västerhaninge were equally unhappy to see a factory being built so close to their homes. They claimed that the traffic to and from the plant would ruin their lives, more or less. But the County Board soon approved the plans and as you can see the new plant is now under construction. The factory will produce at most 100,000 cubic meter lubricant oil per year. Friction free, who knows.

Parkstråket

293 new apartments, (leasehold), in a total of six buildings, between four to nine stories high, to be built here at Vintervägen/Sommarvägen in Handen. At the moment there are a few temporary student apartments in what is left of the forest here. Expect to move in here in 2020 if this is the place for you. The architects are Semrén & Månsson. At the same time Turbinen is constructing a new school close to the bridge that connects the area to the Rudan nature reserve, that is what the third photo shows. goo.gl/CQn1YA

Ribby Ängar

Two new apartment building currently under construction at Ribby in Västerhaninge, an area that has undergone a lot of change in the last decade as you can see in my flickr album.

Leasehold estate

Another photo photo from the construction site at Lillgården in Tungelsta. Been having a hard time figuring out what this building is supposed to be. Looking at the illustrations on the builders website i drew a blank. So I did the second best thing. I emailed the guy who did the architectural plan of the area. Rikard Lundin. And the cool thing is that I took his portrait for this blog nine years ago! Anywho, Rikard told me that this building is a leasehold estate three storey high apartment building, and that the builder have changed a few things from his original plan.

Le Quattro Stagione

A new housing area at Nedersta in Västerhaninge, just behind the old Nödesta farm. It is called De Fyra Årstiderna, or Le Quattro Stagione, supposedly a new living concept if you want to believe the builder, and it is already sold out! The different parts are called Vårkanten, Sommargården, Höststigen och Vintergatan. This is a nine photo panorama. Shot from far away, standing out on the fields close to Stabergsvägen. Zooming in to the maximum at 250mm with the silent zoom lens.

Row House

Too cold for me at the moment. Not sure why as it was around 0C today and we had a blue sky for a few hours. This is an update from a while back. A new row house at Lillgården in Tungelsta. The first modular home of many to be build here by Turbinen. The yellow house that you can see in the background is known as Rosgården. It was once a real estate office. That was a little over a century ago when the first greenhouse nurseries opened for business in Tungelsta. Later one of the gardeners lived there.

Cloverleaf interchange

This mess is next to the highway to Stockholm, Road 73 at Vega in Handen. When they are done you will see a new elevated roundabout here. Back in the Viking Age this was the coastline so they will need a lot of piles in the ground here. In a day or two they will start the drilling and the blasting in preparation for a new bridge that will cross the highway and the old road which was were I was standing when I took this snap.

Brf Blicken

The 18 storey high apartment building Brf Blicken at Handenterrassen in Handen is starting to take shape. The first modules have arrived so I think the pace of the construction will go up a bit now.

Winter Construction

This was a big field at Lillgården a few years ago. Now it is a building site with the new road to and from Lillgården going through it. I have showed you photos from here a couple of times. This big crane arrived last week so I'm guessing it will be another Winter with a lot of construction here as Turbinen plans to build a hundred or so apartments here.

Don't fall down now okay?

Swedish word of the day. Stabil. Steady. That's what it says on the construction workers overalls. But this doesn't look too steady to me. A new apartmend building is taking shape at Tuvvägen in Handen. Called Södertuvan.

Underpass

The most recent post I shoved you from the construction site that is the future commuter station in Tungelsta was a photo I called the hole on the ground. This is how it looks today. You can start to see the outline of an underpass. The underpass will be one of two way to get to and from Lillgården, on foot or by bike in the future when the old crossing closes and the new station opens. Both photo shot as panoramic images with the nifty fifty.

Foundation

Five new apartment buildings here when they are done. From Tuvvägen in Handen. The ugly gray boxes across the road are cheap student apartments.

The hole in the ground

To the left the century old station house in Tungelsta, and in front of it the hole in the ground that will be the new commuter station. To see a model of the finished commuter station press here.
