The Brønnøysund Register Centre

The new building for the Brønnøysund Register Centre (Norway’s central registry authority for companies and public records), located on the quay in Brønnøysund, accommodates approximately 600 workplaces, a meeting and conference center, and technical facilities. As a public-purpose building, it provides a new framework for the national role of the Register Centre. The Brønnøysund Register Centre and Brønnøy Municipality have held high ambitions for the city’s largest and most important urban development project, located in the town centre and close to the Hurtigruten terminal.

The existing building was deemed unsuitable for further development and was completely demolished. The new register building on the waterfront has given the town a new architectural signature and revitalized the harbor front. A newly established harbor park reopens the visual axis from the town to the sea. To the north, there remains potential for a future development phase.

The new building features a tall glass atrium at its center, allowing daylight to flow through from the town side to the sea. The atrium houses the main entrance, lobby, and central staircase. Social zones are placed as “watering holes” on the landings, creating attractive meeting points filled with light, air, and views. The top-floor canteen and adjoining rooftop terrace offer spectacular views of the open sea and the Vega archipelago.

The project emphasizes high quality and meets the demands of a modern knowledge-based organization. The building is BREEAM-certified to the level of Very Good. Durable, long-lasting materials have been used, with a focus on flexible workspaces and efficient operations.

The register’s central location, with its entrance near a public transport hub, along with upgraded road infrastructure and new cross-connections, reinforces the commitment to green mobility and urban life in Brønnøysund.
