Representatives from the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the Bjarg Housing Society met at Hamranes in the fine weather this week to discuss and experience the progress of events. From left: Selma Unnsteinsd\u00f3ttir, Project Manager at Bjarg's Lettings Department; Bj\u00f6rn Traustason, Managing Director of Bjarg; \u00der\u00f6stur Bjarnason, Project Manager at Bjarg's Construction Department; Rannveig Einarsd\u00f3ttir, Director of the Family and Child Welfare Department of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Municipality, R\u00f3sa Gu\u00f0bjartsd\u00f3ttir, Mayor, and Sigur\u00f0ur Haraldsson, Director of the Environment and Planning Department. <\/sup><\/p>\n Hamranes is a dream community for those who want to live close to nature, with the hinterland of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in their back garden. <\/sup><\/p>\n Bjarg Housing Society is a non-profit organisation intended to ensure that low-income individuals and families in the labour market have access to secure housing on a long-term lease. These are so-called rental homes based on the Nordic model. Applications for the flats in Hamranes have already been opened on the Bjarg Housing Society's website. Frugality, common sense and quality are the guiding principles behind the design of the flats to keep the rent down, with factors such as the number of square metres being taken into account. The flats are therefore not large: 45-square-metre two-bedroom flats, 70-square-metre three-bedroom flats, 85-square-metre four-bedroom flats and 100-square-metre five-bedroom flats, in a beautiful setting with gardens that are partly untouched lava fields covered in moss.<\/p>\n New flats from the Bjarg housing association are being built, along with around 1,500 other homes in Hamranes, and the population of the fully-built neighbourhood will be just over 4,000. Hamranes is a new 25-hectare neighbourhood opposite the Skar\u00f0shl\u00ed\u00f0arhverfi area, where a dream home is now being built for those who want to live close to nature, yet just a stone's throw from a wide range of shops, services and leisure facilities. Transport links between the neighbourhoods are fairly good, thanks in large part to new flyovers, the dualling of the Reykjanesbraut and the opening of the \u00c1svallabraut. The neighbourhood will have two nurseries and a primary school, as well as provisions for a health centre and residential options for the elderly. Work on plots in Hamranes began in early 2021, and the first sod for Bjarg's housing was cut that summer. The first residents in Hamranes are expected to move in this year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gert r\u00e1\u00f0 fyrir a\u00f0 fyrstu \u00edb\u00faarnir flytji inn \u00ed upphafi \u00e1rs 2023 Framkv\u00e6mdir vi\u00f0 uppbyggingu \u00e1 148 \u00edb\u00fa\u00f0um Bjargs \u00edb\u00fa\u00f0af\u00e9lags vi\u00f0 N\u00f3nhamar og Hringhamar \u00ed Hamranesi \u00ed Hafnarfir\u00f0i ganga vel.
