NCC to construct Clarion Hotel at Arlanda Airport for SEK 545 million 

NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to construct the Clarion Hotel at
Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The client and property owner is the state-owned LFV
Group (Swedish Airports and Air Navigation Services) and the hotel will be
operated by Choice Hotels Scandinavia AS. The project will be implemented on a
partnering basis and the order is worth approximately SEK 545 million.

The new hotel will have 400 rooms and will be a first-rate business hotel with a
distinct and exclusive design profile. 
“Stockholm Airport City can now continue to develop positively despite the
prevailing economic climate. Clarion Hotel Arlanda will improve service for
travelers and businesses in the region,” says Stefan Stenberg, Head of LFV
Stockholm-Arlanda Real Estate.

The hotel will be constructed close to the control tower and be linked to Sky
City and the airport terminals. 

NCC's organization and creativity were of particular importance to securing the
contract, as was implementing the project in close cooperation with the client. 
“Close cooperation with LFV, Choice Hotels, our consultants and the
subcontractors means that the conditions for building an attractive business
hotel are excellent,” says Svante Hagman, Regional Manager Stockholm/Mälardalen
at NCC Construction Sverige.
  
Project design will commence at the beginning of January 2010 and initial ground
work will begin in August of the same year. The hotel is scheduled to open in
November 2012. An average of 150 employees will be involved in the construction
process and the order will be registered during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Partnering is a structured cooperation format, whereby the developer,
consultants and contractor jointly resolve construction issues. The method is
based on open and reliable cooperation in which the professional skills of the
partners complement each other throughout all phases of the project.
