Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:
"It is extremely gratifying to be able to tell you that we will start a new construction project in Årstaberg, Stockholm, during the second quarter. In our role as an urban developer, we both want to and have a responsibility to help provide new homes in a market with a severe housing shortage. We have the financial strength required, and not least, we have a well-developed, cost-efficient process."
"Income from property management is on a par with the same quarter last year, despite the fact that our interest expenses have increased by almost SEK 70 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. We have worked hard on streamlining our management operations, which resulted in an increase in net operating income of more than SEK 70 million."
