3XN has been commissioned by Nygårdstangen Utvikling – a consortium consisting of Olav Thon, EDG Property and Rexir – to design a proposal for a new arena and a masterplan in central Bergen, Norway. The proposal is a response to Bergen City's ambitious plans for sustainable development of the area. The arena will become a catalyst for transforming the city by becoming an anchor for the development of an entirely new neighborhood that connects the inner city with the waterfront, and that will become a destination for concerts, sport and cultural events.
