Comment from Hans Wallenstam, CEO:
"After a challenging time last year for Wallenstam, I can confirm that most things started to turn around in 2024 and this report shows that this trend is continuing. Our income from property management and net operating income are increasing again, the average interest rate has also fallen this quarter and on closing day the average interest rate was 2.95 percent, and the equity/assets ratio remains strong."
"For many years, we have felt that it would be natural for us to develop the commercial segment in Stockholm, since we own residential properties in both Gothenburg and Stockholm as well as commercial properties in central Gothenburg. Now we think that the timing is right and we will let our three-leaf clover become a four-leaf clover! The first stage in our new commercial segment venture in Stockholm's CBD was to sign an agreement the other week to acquire the scraper next to Sergels Torg square, the 5th Hötorget scraper. A unique building with great potential!"
