In Phase 2 we will develop the urban district of Björkris further by building an additional 800 residential units with a mixture of housing types, tenures and sizes. The detailed development plan is divided into two parts, which enables us to proceed with the first 650 residential units during 2021. We will also develop facilities for services, leisure and socialising, in addition to a pre-school, a home for the elderly, and an exciting outdoor area in the forest.
