Censor to move to Hufvudstaden’s Kvarteret Johanna
Hufvudstaden has signed a lease agreement with Censor for a new Gothenburg office on the top floor of Kvarteret Johanna. The site is currently undergoing a major renovation and extension, and occupancy is planned for early 2026.
Censor M&A provides expert advice and project management in ownership planning, change of ownership, and acquisitions. Censor has been an established player on the Nordic market for more than 20 years and is present globally through its co-ownership of Corporate Finance International. Today, Censor has offices in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö and will move into Kvarteret Johanna in early 2026.
Before the summer, major consulting and audit firm EY and leading law firm Vinge signed contracts for new offices in Kvarteret Johanna. Considerable interest exists in premises in the soon-to-be-completed 32,000-square-metre site, and now a lease has been finalised with Censor.
“We’re looking forward to moving to Kvarteret Johanna, where we’ll have excellent premises tailored to our needs and wishes. Its location near Gothenburg’s central train station and other transport links is also perfect for colleagues and customers alike, who are often on the move,” say Jonas Brogårdh and Mats Axell, Partners at Censor.
Censor’s new offices are located on the seventh floor and amount to approximately 350 square metres of space, where the company’s employees can enjoy premises with a contemporary designed in a historic setting.
“We’re extremely happy that Censor has chosen Kvarteret Johanna for its new offices in Gothenburg. Being on the top floor, they will have a fantastic view of the city and easy access to a range of services including restaurants, gyms and shops. We look forward to welcoming them as tenants with us,” says Fredrik Ottosson, Director Business Area Gothenburg.

About Kvarteret Johanna
Kvarteret Johanna is one of Gothenburg’s most central locations, next to the city’s historic canals, and a stone’s throw from Brunnsparken and Gothenburg Central Station. The development is one of the largest projects in Gothenburg’s inner city and will play a key role in the overall development of Fredstan. The renovation and newbuild includes a total of some 32,000 square metres of premises intended for offices, shops, restaurants and more, and is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2026. The property retains its original expression with a number of different street-facing facades; while inside, all properties will have a consistent design. This creates a high degree of flexibility that gives clients the freedom to adapt office space to their needs. Companies will be able to select their own office space ranging from 150 square metres to 4,300 square metres on the same floor.
Hufvudstaden chose to name the property Johanna as a tribute to two Gothenburg institutions: the Johanna in Brunnsparken statue and legendary restaurant Johanna, which was previously located at the site on Brända tomten. The site is located in the Fredstan area at the heart of central Gothenburg.
Kvarteret will offer three service concepts that will add considerable value for office tenants. Stureplansgruppen will open a rooftop restaurant on Södra Hamngatan and Nordic Wellness is set to open a gym on street level on Drottninggatan. Hufvudstaden will also open its own co-working concept – Cecil – at the site. Cecil will offer its own office space and desks in shared areas and will have a large common conference area where it will also be possible for non-members to book meeting rooms.
