A pioneering residential project is rising in Malmö’s Hyllie district: ETC Hyllie. Led by ETC Bygg AB, the twelve-storey building with basement will house 65 modern leasehold flats, setting new standards in timber construction. Its entire supporting structure, including the elevator shaft, is built from wood. Exterior walls are insulated with industrially compacted straw, while basalt and other materials replace part of the cement in the concrete foundations. Large façade sections feature photovoltaic modules for self-sufficient energy.
The HASSLACHER group supplied 1,814m³ of premium cross laminated timber and 151m³ of glued laminated timber from its sites in Stall im Mölltal (NORITEC Holzindustrie GmbH) and Magdeburg (Nordlam GmbH). Thanks to a high degree of prefabrication, assembly of the timber elements and insulation took less than five months. Transport was handled by rail directly to the site.
The project is financed by crowdfunding, organised by ETC Bygg AB. Future tenants will benefit from shared services such as an electric car pool and cargo bikes, which can be used at no additional monthly cost. Each flat has its own balcony, which is ideal for urban gardening and strengthens the sense of community.
Completion is planned for early 2026, highlighting the HASSLACHER group’s expertise in innovative timber construction.
