"We have significantly accelerated the growth rate and taken advantage of the increased acquisition opportunities at attractive financing terms that I previously highlighted. We have acquired a total of six properties but also started a larger development project regarding a 3,700 sqm warehouse and showroom facility in Bromma after signing a 10-year lease with a new tenant. These investments totaling approximately SEK 820 million will increase our annual net operating income by approximately SEK 60 million or 8.5 percent after completion and we see continued strong growth potential going forward.
Our management of our existing portfolio has also developed well with an underlying increase in net operating income of 8% for the comparable portfolio and with positive net lettings of SEK 7.4 million during the quarter, which signals stronger demand from our customers."
