Mariakvartalet: A sustainable property development project in Oslo

The prestigious property development project Mariakvartalet is a part of OSU’s (Oslo S Utvikling) transformation of the former container port in Oslo’s Bjørvika neighbourhood, to an attractive new property and business district. Rejlers is responsible for the electrical engineering services in the project, which includes 245 flats with common roof terraces, as well as space for restaurants, shops, services and cultural outlets at street level.

Based on the BREEAM-Nor standard, the project has high sustainability ambitions, with very strict environmental demands covering all steps of the property development. Rejlers will ensure that the new flats offer a high level of energy efficiency which translates into lower energy costs. The BREEAM certification also means clean indoor air, absence of toxins, an allergy-friendly home environment with plenty of daylight, good outdoor areas and easy access to public transportation, as well as plenty of parking for electric cars and bicycles.
