Norwegian term or phrase: boligaksjeselskap
Explanation:
Since 1960 it has been obligatory to establish "borettslag" instead of "boligaksjeselskap". However, there are still many "boligaksjeselskap" that were established before 1960. They are governed by different laws: for "borettslag" it's borettslagsloven and for "boligaksjeselskap" it's aksjeloven.

neutral  Adrian MM. (X): I can't see how the term 'parses' - a company holding housing stock or a housing co. limited by (AmE) stock = (BrE) shares.

housing cooperative stock corporation


Explanation:
Yes, it's windy, but it's what used in the translation of husleieloven. See § 13-2 of the act in the links below. In the Norwegian version, the reference appears as a stand-alone sentence. In the English version, it's labelled as subsection (f). The translation also appears at http://www.huseierne.no/Utleie-/Viktige-engelske-ord-og-uttr...

incorporated housing cooperative


Explanation:
Actually, I would simply call it a "housing cooperative," as these take many forms and their form isn't usually identified in their title.
I suppose it would be possible to write "housing cooperative (LTD)" - or housing cooperative (LLC).
