“We are pleased to announce SONY as our latest tenant of Omega Court.

We are committed to creating an environment that combines EU taxonomy alignment and tenant experience.” says Edward Ekbom, investment manager of Altaal.
Altaal is currently having a successful period of leasing with several signed long leases in the range of five-to-ten-year maturities with high-quality counterparts and strong rental levels.
“A polarization has occurred in the market, where concept-driven landlords with high-quality assets attract tenants. Rental levels are not the key factor in negotiations. It is all about EU taxonomy alignment, tenant experience and asset uniqueness.” says Stefan Gattberg, co-founder of Altaal
“We are working hard to meet our existing and new tenants' requirements on location, EU taxonomy alignment and tenant experience. With our high asset quality concepts, Colony (colonyoffices.com) and Omega Court, we have managed to attract tier-1 tenants such as SONY, DHL, SSH, Gerako, and CGI, among others, totaling around 20,000 sqm in the last 24 months.” says Henrik Schmidt, co-founder of Altaal.
