The feasibility study of the New Agriculture District (Landbrukskvartalet) is based on an existing master plan and The Norwegian Agrarian Association’s (Norges bondelag) wish of showing the history of the area.

The purpose of the transformation is to create an economically and ecologically sustainable solution with a strong identity and connection to the dairy’s heritage. The aim is to create an urban food culture and defining the role of the agriculture under a green aspect.

The current 30,000 m² area of the agricultural district will be increased to 60,000 m² as part of the development. Approximately 30 % of the area will be used for residential purposes including 200 apartments within the neighbourhood. Several buildings will be refurbished, including the dairy building from 1912.

The area will have a mix of businesses and housing, creating a vibrant urban area and new meeting places for a larger part of the surrounding neighbourhood. At the centre of the area's development is the implementation of future environmental solutions and efficient energy use. The new Agricultural Quarter will help to strengthen this part of the city. The area is a Futurebuilt project. B+G has participated in designing the building structure, extensions, remodelling and refurbishment of existing buildings and concept development for a new high-rise building with high sustainability ambitions using as much wood as possible.
