The construction of Orkla’s new headquarters on Drammensveien 149 on Skøyen is underway and will be finished at the end of 2018. Initially Orkla wanted to construct a skyscraper with 21 floors, but were opposed by PBE. They later made a separate proposal of 16 floors that the political authorities agreed on.
 
Orkla’s new headquarters encompass 19,500 sqm commercial spaces and 1,500 sqm apartments.
 
The property will not be finished when the headquarters are finished, due to the fact that behind it lies Essobygget that Orkla Eiendom wants to tear down. Together with Arcasa Architects, Orkla is looking at the erection of a new building complex of 33,260 sqm, 18,480 sqm apartments and 14,780 sqm industry.
 
Including Orkla’s headquarters the entire construction will amount to 54,263 sqm on the land.
