Stor-Oslo Eiendom is a part of the exhibition Oslo in the Making with the project Linderudløkka & Startblokka.

After acquiring the former headquarter of industrial giant Siemens in Linderud in 2019 to convert the industrial plant to a new urban residential area, developer Stor-Oslo Eiendom initiated a collaboration with the local municipality branch, Bydel Bjerke. The developer offered 12.000 square metres for a temporary social project, the public-private partnership exploring the potential of temporality, turning an empty building into a testbed for experiences informing future development.

Startblokka signals the start of a transformation, the former industrial area replaced by residential buildings and commercial property, the future users different in terms of preferences and needs.

Linderudløkka is being developed by Stor-Oslo Eiendom in collaboration with Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter/Nordic — Office of Architecture.
