SKANSKA CONSTRUCTING NEW BROADCAST CENTER FOR SWEDISH TELEVISION
Yesterday marked the groundbreaking of a 27,000 m2 (290,000 sq. ft) tailor-made television production center that Skanska, through its subsidiary Korus projekt AB, is constructing in Värtahamnen on the northeastern edge of downtown Stockholm, at a cost of approximately USD 26 M. Most of the building has already been leased for 20 years to Swedish Television (SVT) and will house the public service broadcaster’s drama production units starting next year.
Skanska has previously constructed buildings based on a similar custom-design concept for the Swedish commercial television company TV 4, the Royal Opera and the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm, among other clients.
The SVT building is scheduled for completion by September 30, 1998, but Skanska’s goal is to have it finished as early as July 1 the same year.
