Today marks the official opening of Viscaria Village in Kiruna – a collaboration between Viscaria Kiruna AB, Strawberry Living and MG Link comprising 132 high-quality accommodation units. The project will ensure a sufficient workforce during the construction phase to reopen the mine, which will supply Europe with copper – a crucial metal for the entire industrial transition.
Västerås continues its expansion, and Strawberry is now taking the next step to meet the rising demand in one of Sweden's most dynamic industrial districts. With the establishment of a new Home Hotel at Finnslätten, a long-awaited meeting point is being created in the heart of the nation’s center for energy and automation.
The Nordic industrial sector is facing a critical bottleneck: the lack of high-quality housing for the required workforce. Now, Petter Stordalen’s Strawberry Group is launching a new company, Lynra. By combining climate-smart modular construction with "hotel DNA," Lynra aims to challenge the traditional industrial services market, targeting a billion-kronor turnover within five years.
Strawberry, Viscaria Kiruna AB, and MG Link have entered into a comprehensive agreement to build and operate "Viscaria Village" in Kiruna. The initiative comprises 132 residential rooms and is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026.
Strawberry Living, part of the Strawberry Group, is launching a new business segment focused on creating and operating complete living environments for large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects. The first initiative is Aurora Village, a unique collaboration with SSAB in Luleå, where Strawberry Living will be responsible for the operation of 2,000 new project homes being built by Adapteo.
Next year, the first of around 20 hotels in the new Stopover hotel chain will open. These climate-smart hotels focus on electric vehicle travelers and, in addition to a comfortable bed, digital and efficient guest solutions, also offer exciting services for both children and four-legged family members.
