We are looking forward to operating such a historic and high-quality building starting in 2027

The project forms part of the wider renewal of eastern Stavanger, where Smedvig Eiendom has been active for several years. Verksgata 54 sits close to Pedersgata within an area undergoing substantial urban development.
The development supports Vander’s continued focus on operating apartment hotels in central urban locations through partnerships with developers and property owners.
