Ola from Tau - Stavanger Chamber of Commerce

Written by Elianne Strøm Topstad | 01. Jan 20
At 18 years of age Ola Soppeland bought his first property with money made from recycling bottles and sales of moped parts. Money can be made out of anything, but it´s not the money in itself that is interesting for the property developer from Tau.

When Ryfast finally opens, the opposite side of the fjord is well prepared for a new reality thanks to Soppeland. The exact number of commercial properties, houses and apartments he has built he can´t quite recall. But there´s still high activity. A stone´s throw from the old ferry dock there´s a big project being built. A large shopping mall is opening in March with new homes being constructed nearby. Most of it built by Soppeland.
