Historic photo of Mustadbakken in Knarrevik on Sotra – seaside industry, the roots of today's Knarrevik Business Park

Local roots. Long-term perspective.

Sigba Eiendom has been based on Sotra for decades. We know the area, we have helped shape it, and we build with the conviction that what we do today matters more ten years from now.

We develop and own commercial real estate ourselves. That means we build with operation, quality and long-term value in mind – not to flip, but to manage.

For tenants that means predictability, quality buildings and a landlord that is present. We take responsibility for what we build and care that our buildings work in the daily lives of the people who use them.

Sotra, Øygarden and Bergen West are on the rise. The new Sotra Link is being built, infrastructure is being upgraded and the business community is developing. We have believed in the region for a long time, and continue to invest in it.

    ESG and long-term management

    We manage commercial real estate with clear ambitions and responsibility, working systematically to reduce environmental impact, strengthen social responsibility and ensure responsible operations.

We believe in openness, long-term partnerships and building a solid foundation for future generations.

ESG and sustainability

We take responsibility for more than just property

As a local company with five employees, we are conscious of our social responsibility and have embedded sustainability in everything we do.

Our work with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is about ensuring long-term value creation – for our tenants, partners and the community around us.

Environmental

We work systematically to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and the properties we manage. Through energy-efficient buildings – such as our low-energy office from 2020 – and environmentally friendly solutions in new projects, we contribute to a greener real estate sector.

Social

We aim to be a safe and inclusive partner, and place great emphasis on good cooperation with employees, tenants and the local community. Our ambition is to create safe, accessible and value-creating business areas in and around Knarrevik.

Governance

We work actively to ensure good governance through clear communication, open processes and responsible cooperation. Our ESG goals are shared openly with tenants, suppliers, lenders and other partners – and we strive to collaborate with actors who share the same values and ambitions.
