Housing, Planning and Building Agency | Bought Norway’s most expensive home – wants to build an underground garage

This is shown by documents Nettavisen has gained access to. The Estate website mentioned the case first.

The document from 18 March shows that the couple, via the architectural firm Hallstein, have sent an application to the Planning and Building Agency. It indicates that billionaire heiress Katharina Andresen (28) and her husband will build a fully or partially underground parking solution for the giant property they bought on Bygdøy in November.

Nettavisen has sent an inquiry to Katharina Andresen about the plans.

Early phase

It is further stated that they have looked at several options for how it can be solved.

“Since the property is not regulated according to the municipality’s mapping system and there have been a number of issues related to the property, we ask for a pre-conference with PBE around May 15 this year to clarify the planning basis and lay the foundation for a coordinated understanding in the future ?” writes the contracted architectural firm Hallstein in the application.

The document says nothing about how big the proposed garage will be, but that the work is in an early phase.

Cashed out

The entire property is 5.9 acres. It shows a main residence of 533 square meters and a porter’s residence of 87, so that the total living space is 620 square meters. The usable area is 944 square meters.

The couple shelled out NOK 590 million for the beachfront property on Bygdøy.

Katharina Andersen is the daughter of Johan Andersen, who founded the holding company Ferd in 2001. He and his two daughters own the company.

Both Katharina and sister Alexandra are on Forbes’ list of the world’s 25 youngest dollar billionaires.

The Ferd empire consists of companies such as Elopak, Aibel, Interwell and Swix.
