About the property

New opportunities in Bragernes

Erik Børresens allé 20 is entering a new phase. Through rezoning and development, we aim to give the property new uses and a clear role in the city’s continued growth.

With a hotel, homes and commercial premises, we aim to foster urban life and interaction among those who live, visit and do business here.

The former courthouse and prison are entering a new chapter, guided by long-term ownership and development.
