Stockholm Airport City

Dan · June 5th, 2008, 09:35 PM

I figured this mega project with many, many smaller projects in it was worthy of its own thread.

Wow!

See here in Swedish:

Check out a render:
http://www.arlandastad.se/
(Some of the stuff at the bottom left is already there, it's the current Arlandastad with Eurostop and such.) Everything to the right of the motorway is new, as is some of the stuff in the top left I think.

Sweet! 50 000 new jobs!

First Hotels ska bygga Stockholms största hotell med 650 rum i en 80 meter hög byggnad", säger Mats Jämterud.

Great!

Dan · June 5th, 2008, 11:38 PM

I am slightly worried that so many things so far away from Stockholm itself may not be overly popular -- can there be really such a huge demand for such a large hotel, so much business area, etc. -- but I sure hope it turns out great.

The current Arlandastad is already doing quite well so I am hopeful. It'd be nice to see this combined with an expansion of the actual airport, to allow for more travelers. Pendeltåg all the way to the airport will probably be done by then too, which will help.

I think the location right by the airport will make it attractive. Looks good too!

sapmi · June 6th, 2008, 01:46 AM

Im not a big fan of the decentralization going on in Sweden.

AW · June 6th, 2008, 09:12 AM

Architecture-wise it looks really interesting! But that first render just screams 'suuubuuurbaaan'

sk · June 6th, 2008, 09:24 AM

i think its too far from Stockholm,still the project could be successful.
But i wouldnt like to work there

Swede · June 6th, 2008, 10:11 AM

the location is excellent - if you're travelling by car. If you, like me, use transit it's really really off. I'm thinking it'll be a success, but not somewhere I see myself going.

Ringil · June 6th, 2008, 09:39 PM

It's a great location for us who live north of Stockholm stad too

UrbanRailNut · June 7th, 2008, 12:09 AM

50 000 jobs in a location with such poor transit. I don't like it.
I won't be a patron either. I don't have a car and I hate flying, I try to avoid it as much as possible.

Dan · June 7th, 2008, 02:02 AM

By then there will definitely be pendeltåg to that area...

It's already gotten better, with Upptåget.

stockholm_city · June 7th, 2008, 02:00 PM

Good!
Then i can get a job soon

staff · June 8th, 2008, 11:18 PM

Great with all the development - I just wish it wouldn't be located several tens of kilometres from the city...

Exactly, putting all these jobs in a location so far from the city is insane. Even if the pendeltåg will be extended to Arlanda, you can bet that most of the people going to these 50k jobs will drive. If they had put all this development in a more central location more accessible by transit, most would probably take transit.
IMO it screams poor planning.

Insane alex · June 10th, 2008, 01:16 AM

It's an airport city... it's supposed to be near an airport, it's the whole point with this project...

Muthai · June 10th, 2008, 10:25 AM

I agree. Those jobs are probably linked to the airportoperations. So if it wouldn't be built next to Arlanda, there wouldn't be any new jobs at all.

In Linköping there will be a great development near the airport, which is only a kilometer from the city core. Okay, we're not talking about 50k jobs here, as in Arlanda, but the idea is the same. A general aviation center and aviation park will be built to stimulate the growth of the already large area of aerotech companies and the international business in the region. I know that Skavsta airport also has these kind of plans, so it's not uniqe.

IMO 50k jobs in Arlanda is better than no jobs at all.

I found this render:

It's horrendous

Insane alex · June 11th, 2008, 11:10 PM

I think it looks pretty decent... It's an airport so we shouldn't get our hopes up for something unique... And that skywalk thingy looks really interesting!
