Charlottesborg may get more housing

Charlottesborg may get more housing. HSB Skåne wants to move its real estate office there and also build accommodation for the elderly. "Could contribute to security in the area", says HSB's CEO.

It’s possible to build more in Charlottesborg. And the municipality wants to develop the area. But a new zoning plan is required. The Planning Commission has now been asked to draw one up.

”We want to build accommodation for the elderly. We believe that having our office in the area may also contribute to security”
Ann Irebo, CEO of HSB Skåne

HSB Skåne is positive about the plans. HSB Skåne wants to tear down its care centres in Charlottesborgshemmet. They want to build an apartment building with apartments for rent instead.

There may be more housing in Charlottesborg. But first, the Planning Commission needs to produce a new zoning plan. This sets the rules for what can be built and where.

The idea is also, that HSB's office which is currently located on Cardellsgatan, will move into the new apartment building, says Ann Irebo, CEO of HSB Skåne.

– We want to build accommodation for the elderly. We believe that having our office in the area may also contribute to security, she says.

”We don’t think lots of apartment buildings are good. Townhouses, on the other hand, would be a boost”
Anders Zackrés, Chairman of the Charlottesborg housing association

The Charlottesborg housing association also wants to see an investment. But the association does not want to build anything new, says Chairman Anders Zackrés.

”HSB Skåne wants to give the area a lift. It’s good that something is happening here”
Pierre Månsson (L), Municipal Councillor

– We don’t think lots of apartment buildings are good. Townhouses, on the other hand, would be a boost, but for that a new zoning plan is required, says Anders Zackrés.

Municipal Councillor Pierre Månsson (L) explains that it involves cooperating with HSB Skåne for the whole area.

– And also about densifying Charlottesborg. HSB Skåne wants to give the area a lift. It’s good that something is happening here and that we’re doing it together, says Månsson.
