In the heart of one of Europe’s fastest growing cities lies a building magnificent in scale, design and historical significance.
Inspired by its past life as the centre of Norway’s telecommunications and radio industries, Telegrafen is being transformed into a vibrant office, food and beverage destination for the modern age.
Telegrafen – the iconic Nordic Baroque-Nouveau landmark was once Norway’s largest office building. Today, it consists of over 25,000 sqm of office and F&B space, spanning an entire city block on one of Oslo’s oldest streets, Kongens gate.
In Telegrafen, Oslo has a distinctive new destination in the heart of Kvadraturen; a place that will inspire people to connect, day and night, for business and leisure.
The dramatic grand hall, with its luxurious interiors and upmarket restaurant and bar offerings, will become a key meeting place in the city.
Historical details include wall frescoes, ceiling murals, carved granite and ground Labradorstein features, and majestic ceilings reaching up to 6 metres. These features, combined with best-in-class office, F&B spaces will make Telegrafen a truly unique offering that cannot be found anywhere else in Scandinavia.
Each floor can be separated into four separate sections with a social zone in the centre. The building’s common amenities include large meeting rooms, a state-of-the-art auditorium, as well as a full service concierge to welcome guests into the building.
With its monumental scale, luxurious interiors and clever blend of heritage and modernity, this is truly a signature business address for today’s established companies and tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.
The building was designed by two of Norway’s most famous architects, Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson, who also collaborated on the legendary Oslo City Hall.
Telegrafen was completed in 1924 as the head office of Telenor and Norway’s administrative centre for its telecommunications and radio industry until 1962.
