Laugardalur - National Arena

The Environment and Planning Council on March 15, 2023, and the Reykjavík City Executive Council on March 30, 2023, approved advertising a proposal to change the land-use plan for Laugardalur. The proposed change includes expanding lot F and the building lot of Laugardalshöll Arena. The building lot will accommodate a national indoor sports and events arena. The maximum building area for the new national arena is 19,000 square meters. Lot G will decrease in size, and the extended Vegmúli into Laugardalur and the lot for an underground parking garage south of the ÍSÍ and ÍBR building will be removed from the plan. For more details about the proposal, please refer to the presentation material.

The proposal is available on the website, www.reykjavik.is, under planning in presentation. View the proposal on a computer screen at the Reykjavík City Service Center, Borgartún 12-14, 1st floor.
