Hisingen city area
Corporate apartments in Arendal
The industrial and port estate on western Hisingen — we place you in the nearest residential area, minutes from the gate.
Arendal is one of Gothenburg's most established industrial and logistics areas, connected directly to the port. Preemraff Gothenburg sits on Raffinaderivägen beside the Sörredsmotet junction, alongside Skandiahamnen and the container terminal and a dense weave of engineering, contracting and logistics firms. Volvo Cars' Torslanda plant is four kilometres away.
Almost nobody lives in Arendal — it is a workplace, not a residential district. So this page is about something different from most of ours: housing in Torslanda, Björlanda and Biskopsgården, a short drive from the gate with parking at the door.
It suits turnaround and maintenance work at the refinery, contractors in the port, and crews commuting to the workshops along Sörredsvägen. Many of our tenants here work shifts, so we choose properties where you can come and go around the clock without disturbing anyone.
If you are not driving there is unusually good bus service for an industrial estate: line 128 to Hjalmar Brantingsplatsen, 32 and 27 via Sörredsmotet and Eketrägatan, 184 towards Kungssten and Marklandsgatan, and 148 running Amhult–Arendal–Volvo–Angered. The frequency follows the shift changes.

The worksites in Arendal
Tell us which gate the crew reports to and we will suggest accommodation accordingly. Between the two refineries it is several minutes at every shift change, for the whole project.
- Preemraff Göteborg
- The refinery on Raffinaderivägen by the Sörred interchange. A hydroskimming refinery with part of the plant converted to biorefining. It runs around the clock and is constantly monitored by staff.
- St1 Göteborg
- The other refinery in the area, just under three kilometres east of Preem. It does not share a nearest residential district with Preemraff — which is why we always ask which of the two it is.
- Skandiahamnen
- Gothenburg's container terminal, just north of Arendal. Contracting, dock work and maintenance, often on shifts.
- The workshops along Sörredsvägen
- A dense weave of engineering, contracting and logistics firms between the refinery and the port.
- Volvo Cars Torslanda
- Four kilometres west of Arendal. Several of our tenants on western Hisingen work against both.

Common questions about staying for work in Arendal
Do you have apartments inside Arendal?
No. Arendal is an industrial and port estate and there is essentially no housing there. We place you in Torslanda, Björlanda or Biskopsgården — the nearest residential areas — a few minutes' drive from the gate.
How close is the housing to the refinery?
Preemraff sits on Raffinaderivägen beside the Sörredsmotet junction. From our properties in Torslanda that is roughly ten minutes by car, a little more from Björlanda. We tell you exactly which property you are getting before you book.
Does it work for a turnaround with a lot of people at once?
Yes — it is one of the most common reasons companies call us. Tell us how many people and which weeks, and we will come back with how many beds we can hold together and where. The earlier the better: during a large shutdown the whole of western Hisingen is let.
Can you get there without a car?
Yes. Bus 128 runs Arendal to Hjalmar Brantingsplatsen, 32 and 27 go via Sörredsmotet and Eketrägatan, 184 towards Kungssten and Marklandsgatan, and 148 runs Amhult–Arendal–Volvo–Angered. Frequency is built around the shift changes. Check current times on vasttrafik.se.
Is parking included?
Yes, in most of our properties on western Hisingen. It is effectively a requirement here — most people working in Arendal drive their own or a company vehicle.
