Parsellen residential project in Lillestrøm strategically located nearby crucial amenities
Kvarteret is located on the southern side of Lillestrøm. Thus, it has a long history of being a place with modest industry and residential neighborhoods. Now, this will alter, and many things will be completely rebuilt.
Nearly all amenities, including shops, dining options, cultural attractions, and public transportation, are within walking distance of the community’s residents. Oslo Central Station and Gardermoen Airport can be reached by train in 10–14 minutes. Construction has already begun, and it will be finished in December 2024.
