“Net leasing continued on a high level during the quarter and the rental market displays a stable and strong trend”, says CEO Henrik Saxborn. “In addition, Castellum shows a strong income from property management despite the major property sales that have taken place since last year.”

“The investment rate is high and the project portfolio has grown steadily. It is gratifying to see that, in line with our objectives, our own projects constitute an increasing share of investments. The total existing real estate portfolio for reported major projects amounts to SEKm 3,700. Overall, I cannot be anything but positive about Castellum’s continued development. We’ve paved the way for an excellent 2018”, Saxborn sums up.
