Frölunda Park is the name of the project aimed to create a new urban district in the area around Lergöksgatan which is to be built by Balder in Frölunda.
The goal is to build 550 apartments, shops and grocery stores, modernisation of the current green areas as well as renovation of Stjärnhusen and build a new school. Frölunda Park shall be constructed over the course of four different building stages and is expected to be completed in 2021.
Balder currently owns and manages the rental apartment block Stjärnhusen in Västra Frölunda, which over the course of four new building projects will become Frölunda Park. The 550 new apartments along Lergöksgatan and Munspelsgatan will built primarily in the areas where there are car parks currently.
The first project Sjöstjärnan is currently underway with the first residents aimed to be moved in next year Apartments in the second project Strandsnäckan have already gone on sale while the third and fourth projects are planned to be ready for occupation in 2021.
"Its feels fantastic to be able to create a new urban residential area in Gothenburg and it’s a challenge we take very seriously. We want everyone here to thrive both inside their apartments and also in the surrounding areas for decades to come. It is of the upmost importance that we listen to both the people that live here today as well as the new prospective residents. That’s why we have maintained a close dialog with the local council, residents and housing associations during the whole process", says Christian Nygård, project leader at Balder.
The project is a part of BoStad2021 and includes a fully contained neighbourhood with a new grocery store being built as well as the refurbishment of park areas, the library and stops for public transport. The district will also be close to fast and easy transport into central Gothenburg and Frölunda Torg, and a short bike ride from Slottskogen, Botaniska Trädgården, Linnéstaden and even the sea. Bicycle and electric carpools, as well as an improved public transport service will help promote a simple and sustainable lifestyle.
