​BoKlok UK exchange contracts on its first three development sites

BoKlok UK Ltd, the sustainable, quality and low-cost home provider jointly owned by Skanska and IKEA has announced the exchange of contracts on its first three developments, since launching in the UK in 2019.

Its first three development sites across the south and south west of England are in Worthing, Bristol and Peacehaven. Together these sites will provide around 400 homes, subject to planning permission.

Most of the homes will be for market sale while a portion will be sold to local authorities and housing associations, to be part of their social housing schemes.

BoKlok homes are completed using modern methods of construction. This enables high quality, low and predictable costs and minimum waste. The completed homes are manufactured off-site and feature high quality IKEA fittings. They are then transported to the construction site for assembly.

BoKlok President, Jonas Spangenberg said, “We are delighted to meet this first milestone for our UK business. We are grateful to our partners and the local authorities we are working with who have been supportive in sharing our vision of sustainable, quality, low cost homes for all.”

The first developments are expected to complete in 2021.

The Daily Telegraph curious about BoKlok

On Monday, Luke Mintz, a journalist at The Daily Telegraph, visited BoKlok in Sweden. BoKlok is the sustainable, quality and low-cost home provider jointly owned by Skanska and IKEA. The reason for the visit is the great interest in Boklok's brand and concept since the news that BoKlok expands to England came out in the beginning of the summer.
