Martinsons supplied the frame and floor structure in CLT and glulam for Örebro’s first office building made entirely of wood. The centrally located building is seven storeys high and comprises 6 900 square metres of leasable area. The project is the first major wood construction project carried out by Castellum.

The building is environmentally certified according to the Sweden Green Building Council’s Gold standard and its new certification NollCO2. The goal is for the building to have net-zero carbon dioxide emissions during its lifetime.

“The sustainability aspect is an important part of the building, and the fact that we chose a wooden frame instead of steel and concrete is the main reason why we are able to achieve climate neutrality. And as a large real estate company, we need to contribute to building sustainably. It adds value to the building, for us as the owner of the property but also for the tenants,” says Hans Hjalmarsson, Project Developer at Castellum.

“I am proud that we are now up and running with our most sustainable office building ever. We will learn a lot along the way that will also be useful in future projects. I am sure that in the relatively near future we will see more buildings with the new certification,” says Per Gawelin, Managing Director Region Central at Castellum.
