“We believe that Nya Holtermanska will enhance the campus environment and make Chalmers even more vibrant for both current and future students. Following a meticulous evaluation of tenders, interviews and project organizations, we chose NCC because the company met our high standards and is a reliable and professional partner for the project,” says Joakim Wallin, CEO of Chalmers Studentbostäder.
NCC’s assignment includes the construction of the Nya Holtermanska block – three residential buildings comprising a total of 386 student and researcher apartments that can accommodate nearly 500 students as well as premises for a café, restaurant and offices covering 2,500 square meters. The housing consists mainly of one-bedroom apartments, supplemented by a number of duo apartments as well as duplex apartments in the tallest building. The project will be environmentally certified according to Miljöbyggnad Gold.
“Nya Holtermanska is an exciting project in the heart of Gothenburg. NCC will utilize both our broad expertise in residential construction and our experience of building in central locations. We are now looking forward to building more student housing in Gothenburg and meeting our customer’s high demands in terms of quality and implementation,” says Niklas Sparw, Head of NCC Building Sweden.
The project will be one of the first in Sweden to be subject to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s new building regulations and the new easements for student housing that gained legal force on July 1 2025.
Work will commence in early 2026 and is scheduled for completion in 2028. The project will be registered in the first quarter of 2026 in the NCC Building Sweden business area.
