- ”Growth in rental income and management results continued during the first quarter through completion of projects and rent increases that gradually yields rising revenue. During the quarter, several transactions on the Stockholm market have shown that business can be done at new record levels. In addition to a very strong value growth in the project portfolio, we report continued value changes in the management portfolio as a result of both rising rental rates and continued falling yields”, commented Christian Hermelin, CEO

Market outlook
-”The year got off to a good start, and market conditions are consistently healthy. As long as the economic situation remains good, which it is expected to in 2018, I anticipate a persistently strong year with high net lettings, rising revenue and falling interest expenses. The major transaction of the quarter paves the way for continued investment in new, exciting projects. We have high ambitions and are continually striving to improve. Fabege is well positioned to capitalise on the business opportunities that lie ahead”, says Christian Hermelin, CEO.
