The buildings make up the so-called “Kvarteret Jylland” and will house a total of approximately 350 student apartments, which are expected to be available for rent in 2021.

In addition, there will be retail stores on the ground floor. The neighborhood will be characterized by gathering places and communal areas where networking and social interaction take center stage.

The immediate proximity to international companies seeking young talent will enhance the neighborhood’s appeal to residents. The project will therefore add something that does not currently exist in Kista, Stockholm.

The project is a turnkey contract with Betonmast serving as the general contractor. Tyrens Sverige is the structural engineer and is responsible for the structural stability of the building.

The buildings will be constructed partly of concrete—in the form of stabilizing cores and a load-bearing concrete system on the lower floors—and partly of approximately 7,000 m² of prefabricated steel modules.

The prefabricated steel modules are supplied by Forta PRO, which is known for its optimized modular steel system, a feature that, among other things, ensures an efficient construction timeline. The tallest of the four buildings consists of 14 stories and a basement, making it the tallest modular building in Scandinavia.

The structures are classified as high safety class (SK3) and are designed in accordance with European standards and Swedish national annexes. The prefabricated steel modules consist of a column-beam system with bracing cross-braces. The floor separations are constructed using lightweight steel sections, and the roof structure consists of truss systems. The steel modules are anchored to stiffening concrete cores and to a deck structure on the lowest floor, which functions as a transfer zone and transfers the loads to the stiffening concrete structures.
