Unique experiences. Places that inspire.

We create lasting experiences

Carucel has a long history of working in venue and property development with projects like Oslobukta, Nusfjord, and Posthallen. With creativity and the ability to execute, Carucel purchases and develops properties of a high quality. We enter each lease agreement with a passion for a joint project where the tenant feels seen, secure, and motivated. With its investment area Carucel Living, the group offers comprehensive residential options under its brand Alva, as well as co-living and serviced apartment solutions. Furthermore, the group has other business areas in capital management and shipping, as well as the newly founded Krefting Foundation.
