From pedestal to fixed
building plot
GMC has been built stone by stone through tough assignments in the North Sea, docks and on the quay. With Byfjordparken, GMC has also proven itself as a player in residential development and commercial real estate in Stavanger.

A family-owned group built for the future
Since 1973, we have developed from a ship service company into a broad industrial group with a focus on innovation, sustainability and expertise. We invest in people, technology and future-oriented solutions. As a responsible player, we work to reduce our climate footprint, create safe jobs and adapt to a changing market, always with an eye on the next generation.

“GMC’s journey began at a time when the shipping industry was stagnant, but with the right people and the ability to see opportunities, the company grew rapidly. In this film, founder Gunnar Magne Christensen shares insights into how chance, talented employees and a culture of adaptation have shaped GMC into the industrial group it is today.”
Sustainability and
ESG
At GMC, we work to reduce negative climate impact in our own operations, for a safe and secure working environment, and take responsibility for our own business and supply chain.

Flexible office space on the waterfront
With a short distance to the center of Stavanger and only a few meters to the pier, the office premises in Byfjordparken are unique. You can get to and from the center in a short time and at the same time have office premises with orchestra space to the Byfjord and inland Ryfylke - with fjord and mountains as far as the eye can see. We build future-oriented, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings where we facilitate small and large tenants. Our first three commercial buildings are certified with BREEAM Excellent.
We will be building a total of approximately 56,000 square meters of offices on our waterfront, spread across a total of nine buildings. So far, we have built three of these buildings and our next building is being planned.
Property development in Byfjordparken, from industry to residential and commercial areas
Byfjordparken is undergoing a transformation. From being a very active industrial area where GMC ran its various industrial businesses, the area is now becoming a completely new district in Stavanger. It has taken time and is far from finished construction, but the area is now fully regulated and prepared for beautiful homes and offices. In the early 2000s, the Christensen family decided that the central location by the fjord was better suited for homes and offices than for industrial activities. The industrial activities were therefore moved to other locations and planning for the future Byfjordparken was underway.
Our portfolio – properties for industry, commerce and housing
In Byfjordparken we develop and manage high-quality apartments, adapted to different living situations. Here you will find everything from efficient two-room apartments to larger family homes with state-of-the-art standards. The area is designed to provide residents with good common areas, proximity to nature and sustainable solutions that create a future-oriented living environment.
Byfjordparken – 56,000 sq m. of commercial property and 225 apartments
In Byfjordparken, we are converting an industrial area into a completely new district, with residential and commercial property. The area has been fully regulated with approximately 56,000 m² of commercial property and around 225 apartments.
With its proximity to the sea and a short distance to the city center, our area has the perfect conditions to be the preferred choice, whether you are looking for your next place to live or if you are looking for new office space.
In the area, we build beautiful common areas and have very high ambitions for our buildings. In our development, we place a high value on architecture, design and material selection. We promise sustainable solutions and a high environmental profile.
Modern homes adapted to different needs
In Byfjordparken we build high-quality apartments, adapted to different living situations. Here you will find everything from efficient two-room apartments to larger apartments - all with top modern standards. We create beautiful common areas for the residents and it is a stone's throw to the edge of the pier, where you can swim, fish or simply enjoy boating. In Byfjordparken we build sustainable solutions and facilitate a future-oriented living environment.
We will build a total of 11 apartment buildings on the site. So far, we have completed three of the buildings and the fourth is currently under construction with completion scheduled for summer 2026.
