Information page about the project
Construction work has begun.
The main plans for 26-30 Strandgata (now 13-15 Fjarðargata), which is also an extension to the Fjörð shopping centre, were approved at the end of September 2022, and preparations for larger-scale works have already begun. Renovations are currently underway on the roof of the retail section of Fjörður, which will later be connected to the new building. Utilities have begun modifying the district heating pipes, and HS-veitur are installing a new transformer station in the basement of Fjarðar. This preparatory work is essential to enable direct construction of the new building to begin.
The works will take at least two years.
Groundworks are expected to begin in November 2022, with the main construction of the building taking place in 2023, and the building becoming operational at the end of 2024 and into 2025. The developer will focus on causing as little disruption as possible for residents and road users during the construction, but it is clear that some disruption will be unavoidable. Strandgata will be narrowed. The pavement on one side will be closed and pedestrian traffic will be moved across the road. Access to the site will be from three locations: Strandgata, the car park at Hafnarborg, and an area behind 24 Strandgata. Material reception points can be expected at these locations. A diversion for vehicle traffic is also planned behind 31 and 33 Strandgata while the concreting work is in progress.
