What the buyer is looking for
Halmstad municipality is planning a new cultural centre on Österskans – a modern building with a flexible cultural and event arena, cultural school and spaces for different cultural expressions. Together with the existing cultural activities, it will form a vibrant cultural district that strengthens the city centre's attractiveness and develops Halmstad's cultural life. The project also includes the establishment of a hotel on the site with private ownership. The area is located in the center, 200 meters from the Main Square, east of Nissan. The municipality owns the land. Interested suppliers are invited to apply to participate in a project competition regarding the getalting of the cultural centre. Four suppliers will be invited to participate in the competition, with a competition fee of SEK 400,000. Halmstad municipality intends to award the winning supplier a contract for continued execution of architectural services linked to the project.
