“Occupancy rate improved by three percentage points to 89 per cent in 2006. We are now seeing the rental market gradually strengthen in our principal markets of the inner city of Stockholm, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad,” says Christian Hermelin, CEO of Fabege.

“We continued the substantial restructuring of our property stock and the focus on our principal markets during the year. Turnover in our property portfolio was very high, totalling SEK 28bn, of which SEK 12bn was made up of sales and SEK 16bn of purchases,” Hermelin continues.

“With a strong financial position, a good organisation and a well-positioned property stock, we have an excellent base for value-adding management and improvement and also for seizing interesting business opportunities,” he concludes.
