“It has been a strong quarter on several fronts, a very strong net letting of SEK 130, of which 74 during the third quarter, increased net operating income and continued positive revaluations in the property portfolio. We completed one of the largest office lettings of the year in Sweden, with Alfa Laval’s decision to move its operations to Flemingsberg, and in early October we completed a strategic acquisition of SHH Bostad, consolidating our position as an urban developer in Greater Stockholm."

“We are forging ahead with a strong balance sheet, generating opportunities to create additional shareholder value. With our stable customer base, modern property portfolio in prime locations and a strong market behind us, we are confident about the fourth quarter 2021 and the next few years,” said Stefan Dahlbo, Fabege’s CEO.
