Stockholm Wood City

Stockholm Wood City is a planned wooden construction project located in the Stockholm neighborhood Sickla, initiated and developed by the Swedish urban developer Atrium Ljungberg. The project will become the world's largest known wooden-built urban area, spanning 25 blocks and 250,000 square meters. It has been praised by institutions such as the World Economic Forum as a precedent in sustainable city development. The project is estimated to cost $1.4 billion.

Construction is set to break ground in 2025, with phase-wide development planned. The first buildings are expected to be completed by 2027, with the entire project slated for completion ten years from the start of construction.

When the wood city is finalized, it will house 7,000 office spaces, 2,000 homes as well as a variety of retailers and restaurants. It will be the largest workplace area in southern Stockholm, to compensate for the current deficit of workplaces in the southern half of the Stockholm region.
