Sites
in general
The
Eyjafjordur area has a great potential to
investors in smaller energy & technology based
investments.
Most
sites are owned by local municipalities
and leased to the industry on annual
rental basis. Lease of land based on the
average industry utilization rate of 33%. (i.e.1/3
of land is occupied by the plant buildings)is
2,8%of the official valuation price of
land. In a typical example of a 6000 m 2
land with a 2000 m 2 property a value of about $14/m
2 the annual rental fee is about $2376/yr.
§Available
sites:
Rangárvellir:
The municipal plan for Akureyri 1998-2018
assumes an 65.000m2 industrial area
at the site Rangarvellir. Its just west
of the residental area in Akureyri with the
nearby road leading to the ski-resort of
Akureyri. The site is
well located with respect to water and
electrical power supply, with the utility
company, Nordurorka, across the street. http://www.no.is
DYSNES:
Much effort is put forth in developing the
Dysnes greenfield site, in the sense that
virtually no site preperation has taken place. The site is
located in Eyjafjordur, some 16 km north of
Akureyri in a thinly populated rural area,
central in the Eyjafjordur region, where all
common infrastructure can be established on
short notice. The size of the industrial
site is 120.000 ha located in a declining
farming area at elevation 18-24 m.a.s.l.
The ground is morain bedrock under organic
topsoil.
Harbour
conditions at Dysnes must be rated favorable
both from economic and operational point of
view. A preliminary harbour design is a
conventional sheet piling construction with
two berths. An outer berth 200 m long
with 12,5 m draft was designed for large
carriers up to 60.000 dwt and an innert berth
120 m long with 8 m draft was provided for
freighters.
Increased
emphasis on actively seeking other / smaller
investment opportunities.
Property taxes and annual municipal fees
Annual
fees to the municipality of a 2000 m 2 plant:
•Property
tax plus water and sewer taxes are 1,93%of
official real estate value (official
evaluation of all buildings in Iceland for tax
purposes)including the value
of the land the property is based on.Typical
"official real estate value " of an
industrial building is about $550-580/m 2
•Therefore,the
annual municipal tax of a 2000 m 2 bldg.are
approx.$23.695. (1,93%*($571/m
2 *2000m 2 +$14/m 2 *6000m 2 ))
Building allowance fee.
A
one-time initial charge of $43/m 2 of new
buildings plus a fixed amount of about $1430
is taken for new constructions.A 2000 m 2 plant
(with a typical land utilization of 33%)would
run about $88.230.
Standard
Construction Cost per square meter
Production
Plant:700-1.000 USD/m2
Residential
House:1.000-1.400 USD/m2
These
figures are guidelines.A large structure can be
cheaper than this and tendering among
contractors may at times produce very attractive
bids.
