Possibly new student housing in Pilestredet

The University\'s division (SiO Boligdivisjon) for housing wants to build student accommodations in Pilestredet Park, in the centre of Oslo. If the negotiations are successful, 150 new student flats may be finished in three years. Per Samuelsen, property director, Boligdivisjonen, believes that these accommodations will be very popular amongst the students. However, the University\'s division for housing depends on financial support from the Government.
