“I am happy that Fabege stands strong in the crisis we are all going through. The performance shows a strong company with stable operations. Meanwhile, we are now focusing on the day-to-day letting discussions with the goal of improving our net lettings and the occupancy rate. We are convinced that offices will be needed more than ever in order to develop companies, build corporate culture as well as a sense of togetherness. Our goal is to always be a good partner for our customers, to listen and to develop together”, comment CEO Stefan Dahlbo.
