He has hired the construction company Kvalitetsbygg to carry out the work of building on three floors with rental apartments.

The ground floor will house other types of businesses - one has already moved in - and it is all planned to be ready by the summer.

But he does not want to comment on how the construction, where his tenants will live and is already operating, is progressing.

- You can bring that with Kvalitetsbygg, he says.

Mikael Solberg had to buy the City Hall from the municipality in a rewritten and heavily criticized deal in 2015.
