2023 - 2027
Wood City Stockholm
Encompassing over 250,000 m², Stockholm Wood City will be the world’s largest wooden urban construction project. Combining housing, workspaces, restaurants and shops, the development aims to create a new, vibrant urban environment in Stockholm’s southern area of Sickla.
Project details
The world’s largest wooden city
Planned to begin construction in 2025, this ambitious project represents a new chapter for timber construction. Envisioned as a vibrant urban zone featuring a mix of housing, office spaces, restaurants, and shops, Wood City will include 7,000 office spaces and 2,000 homes – vastly expanding available space in Stockholm’s over-crowded real estate sector while keeping its environmental footprint to a minimum.
“Our industry leaves a big mark, and it is important for us to make a positive difference in both the shorter and longer term,” says Annica Ånäs, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg. “We want to create an environment where our customers, those who will live and work here, can participate in the development and design of the city district of the future.”
The project’s emphasis on office space is intended not only to respond to the deficit of workplaces south of Stockholm's inner city, but also to shorten commuting times for more people. In a country where energy supply and efficiency are high on the national agenda, the project will also focus on self-produced, stored, and shared energy, investing in resource-efficient construction methods and circular material flows.
