Stockholm Wood City, the world’s largest urban construction project in wood, has been announced by the Swedish real estate company Atrium Ljungberg. The project has set a schedule for completing the first buildings by 2027. The project is planned to start in 2025.
Encompassing an impressive area of over 60 acres, Stockholm Wood City will offer 7,000 office spaces and 2,000 homes in Sickla, located in the southern parts of the capital city of Stockholm. The project will create a dynamic urban setting with a mix of workplaces, housing, restaurants, and shops.
Buildings contribute up to 40% of global CO2 emissions. The real estate industry has a crucial role in promoting sustainability. This visionary project highlights the potential of renewable building materials. Working with wood can reduce the climate impact of buildings by up to 50% while significantly decreasing construction time. Also being a renewable and locally sourced material, wood offers immense possibilities for sustainable urbanization and development. Research studies indicate that wooden buildings enhance air quality, reduce stress, increase productivity, and store carbon dioxide over their lifespan.
Stockholm Wood City incorporates additional environmental benefits by addressing the shortage of workplaces south of Stockholm’s inner city, thus reducing commuting times. The project focuses on self-produced, stored, and shared energy, aligning with Sweden’s national agenda on energy supply and efficiency.
