Niam is actively participating in one of Stockholm's largest urban development projects, Värtahamnen, which is now being transformed into a vibrant inner-city district. The old harbour area will be full of new meeting places, housing, workplaces, restaurants and activities. When the vision for Värtahamnen has been realized in 2030, a completely new, waterside district will have been created with approximately 20 000 workplaces and 5 000 residents. The environmental ambitions are far-reaching and the sustainability requirements for the development of Norra Djurgårdsstaden are the highest ever set by the City of Stockholm.
Niam's commitments in Värtahamnen include both new-build and redevelopment projects. The largest new construction project is The Dockworks, designed by Brunnberg & Forshed. It will be a sizeable 32,000 m² and one of Stockholm's most spectacular office buildings. Inspired by Värtahamnen's industrial past and the old harbour warehouses, it will feature a stylish glass facade with beautiful light flows and green areas created directly on the quayside. The whole building, in keeping with the surrounding area, is characterised by sustainability and service in everything from design, material selection, construction, energy consumption and ventilation.
