Mia Häggström, Head of Sustainability at Fabege
The year 2022 was characterised by an uncertain world with sharply rising inflation and increased interest rates.

Stefan Dahlbo, CEO Fabege.
Huvudsta has been a solitary development right in our portfolio. Following the sale, we have a portfolio of 610 000 sqm of residential development rights.

We have strengthened our sales organisation during the year and the lease agreements in Solna Business Park show that we are on the right track.
Johan Zachrisson, Director of Business Development

The business is going well, and we show a positive net letting of SEK 25m for the quarter. The increased yield requirements, due to the market situation, were positively counteracted by indexation, which is the main explanation for the unrealized value growth of SEK 253m.  
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO.
We have lofty and ambitious goals that drive the sustainability work forward at Fabege. To achieve these goals, we as an industry must work together and find new innovative solutions.

There is great demand for good office space in and around Arenastaden, and we are now creating a high quality office product in a very nice environment close to Solna station. This is very timely and we look forward to welcoming tenants to this wonderful office building.
Johan Zachrisson, Director of Business Development at Fabege
The time from decision to desired moving in date is often linked to the size of the customer. As we are aware that this building will also attract small and medium-sized companies, we think it is advantageous to start the procurement and construction for Block 1 now, in order to shorten the delivery time to customers.
Johan Zachrisson, Director of Business Development at Fabege
We are very proud to receive this award. The Pep Park in Huvudsta contributes to social sustainability, as its careful design aims to allow more people to discover the enjoyment of being active. By making a well-conceived addition to an existing, well-functioning park with high cultural-historical values, new features have been added that encourage outdoor activity.
Lennart Olsson, Project Manager at Fabege.
By using an unusual aesthetic expression, the park aims to appeal to people who don’t usually go to playgrounds or outdoor gyms. The boundary between play and exercise is blurred in the park, and this can help attract people who don’t quite feel at home at playgrounds or outdoor gyms. The park encourages people of all ages to exercise together, so the whole family can use it.
Carolina Klüft, Head of Operations at Generation Pep.
With the “100 metres Pep”, more children, young people and adults in Solna have the opportunity to play, move about and get everyday exercise. It is great that the park is now getting international recognition, and I am particularly proud of the award for accessibility.
Pehr Granfalk, Chair of the Municipal Council of the City of Solna.
It has been a strong quarter on several fronts, a very strong net letting of SEK 130, of which 74 during the third quarter, increased net operating income and continued positive revaluations in the property portfolio. We completed one of the largest office lettings of the year in Sweden, with Alfa Laval’s decision to move its operations to Flemingsberg, and in early October we completed a strategic acquisition of SHH Bostad, consolidating our position as an urban developer in Greater Stockholm.
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO of Fabege
We are forging ahead with a strong balance sheet, generating opportunities to create additional shareholder value. With our stable customer base, modern property portfolio in prime locations and a strong market behind us, we are confident about the fourth quarter 2021 and the next few years.
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO of Fabege
The acquisition strengthens Fabege’s position as an urban developer in the Greater Stockholm area. Thanks to SHH’s expertise in residential and local authority properties, we can be involved in the value creation for longer and run several different types of projects under our own management, which is a natural next step in our urban development strategy.
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO of Fabege
We want to make a difference in the neighbourhoods where we operate, for example by helping children and young people get a good education, enjoy meaningful leisure time and, in the longer term, find a route into the labour market.

Andreas Malmsäter, Letting Manager at Fabege
I am pleased with the quarter in several respects, particularly the increased activity in the rental market, which is reflected in our strong net lettings of SEK 56m and in the renegotiations which increased 12 percent. I am optimistic about Q3 and I believe we’ll have a quarter with continued positive net lettings, although Q3 is traditionally a weaker quarter.
Stefan Dahlbo, CEO of Fabege

The financial world has a great opportunity to steer developments in a more climate-friendly direction, and as borrowers we have significant potential to contribute to this. Since Fabege achieved 100 per cent green financing last year, we are now taking the next step and extending our sustainability responsibility in financing via a taxonomy-linked loan. We’re delighted to be able to do this together with Handelsbanken, with its responsible approach to sustainability work
Åsa Lind, Head of Treasury at Fabege.
We are very pleased with the great interest in Franzéngatan 6 in Västra Kungsholmen and the fact that we have now signed two key contracts in the Glädjen district. Discussions continue about letting a floor higher up in the building.
Andreas Malmsäter, Letting Manager at Fabege.
We want to give both children and adults of all ages an experience with focus on playing and learning as well as an opportunity to get acquainted with the sustainability goals in a concrete and fun way. We are very pleased that a private operator shows the way both when it comes to developing a district with a high level of ambition and when it comes to setting a sustainable agenda.
David Zahle, Partner and Architect at BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group
We are thus well aware that we need to work hard and remain focused regarding those areas in which we have the greatest opportunities to contribute towards sustainable development, and achieving the global goals forms a major part of our daily work. But everyone has to contribute to achieving these goals, and with the new park we hope to raise awareness and knowledge about the important work that needs to be done.
Susanna Elvsén, Market Area Manager Solna Business Park at Fabege.
The Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, and its 17 goals, are to be implemented primarily by countries and so far the focus has been on actions taken by governments, but what can individuals do to help? This was the question when we developed The Good Life Goals. Visitors can get inspiration in the park and find out in a creative way what they can do.
Andrea Norgren, co-lead One Planet Sustainable Lifestyles and Education Programme, who developed The Good Life Goals
Fabege has a strong balance sheet, a stable customer base, a good property portfolio in great locations and many development opportunities. During the quarter, we utilised our strength to repurchase almost 3 million shares. All with the ambition of creating additional shareholder value.

Johan Zachrisson
Along with our current development of Arenastaden, Haga Norra and Solna Business Park, the land acquisition is a natural addition that contributes to new value-creating opportunities in Solna in a long-term perspective. The geographical location and Solna’s many advantages mean that we are keen to increase our portfolio in the area.
Stefan Dahlbo, President and CEO of Fabege.
We have just completed Scandinavia’s first zero-energy hotel – and now we are raising the bar further with one of Sweden’s most interesting new construction projects. We are aware that we and the industry as a whole have a huge task ahead of us, but at the same time we regard the transition towards a sustainable and profitable business sector with a long-term perspective as being a major opportunity.
