Sustainable solutions

Risa's new signal building will be constructed on an 11,000 square meter part of Ølen Betong's property at the entrance to Haugaland Næringspark.

- "The new building is a 3,000 square meter combination building with solar cells on the roof and several energy wells, which contributes to the building's A energy rating, which shows our commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly solutions," says Risa.

More operators are moving in

Of the 3,000 square meters, 1,800 square meters will be a hall and 1,100 square meters will be used for offices. The new building will be the headquarters for Risa AS in Haugalandet, as well as Rental.one and Jostein Myge. Vest Entreprenør will build the Risa building, and it is scheduled to open on August 3, 2024.

Haugaland Business Park is Norway's largest fully regulated business park, strategically located by the E39 in a strong energy hub and a strong industrial region. The park is the result of inter-municipal cooperation over many years, and is owned by the five surrounding municipalities. With ample access to power in the years to come, its own deep-water quay and all infrastructure in place, Haugaland Business Park is one of Northern Europe's most attractive locations for establishing new industry.
