“These new leases with world-leading high-tech companies are exactly in line with the investment we are making at Finnslätten and strengthen the area’s attractiveness. Increasing the service offering in the area is also a high priority and IF Friskis&Svettis will be a welcome contribution,” says Mats Eriksson, Regional Manager Mälardalen at Kungsleden.

The acquisition gives us the opportunity to further develop Stockholm City West into a modern office cluster with an attractive environment for our customers. The properties have great development potential and our goal is to both develop the existing properties and create new modern premises in the area

Kungsleden has in recent years had a pronounced ambition to create long-term financial stability, an attractive and geographically concentrated property portfolio and an efficient customer-focused organization. At the end of the third quarter, we received new fine confirmation that we are well on track when the rating agency Moody’s gave Kungsleden the credit rating Ba1 with “Positive Outlook”.

We are glad that the interest from investors was high in this first issue after achieving a public credit rating from Moody´s of Ba1 with Positive Outlook. Kungsleden aims to increase its market borrowing in order to further diversify its funding mix, increase the proportion of unsecured borrowing and extend the average capital term

”Today Kungsleden has a strong financial position, which is confirmed by the credit rating from Moody's. With rating and MTN program in place, we will increase the share of unsecured borrowing through the capital market. The goal is of course to obtain an Investment Grade rating, something that would give us an even larger base of credit investors and improved access to the capital market.

It is extremely gratifying that during the summer we have had a high rental activity and can show very strong new rental performance. We still have strong demand in our main markets of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Västerås, which accounts for 80% of our property portfolio

Transformation complete – Kungsleden is well-equipped for the future

The premises are recently renovated overlooking the central parts of Södertälje with a great location close to public transport, which is important both from a customer- and an environmental perspective.

We have continued to optimize our property portfolio through intensive and dedicated efforts. With the current transaction, the restructuring of Kungsleden´s property holdings is completed. Our focus from now on will be to extract value and invest in our core portfolio of investment and development properties

We are proud to have been involved in developing the old butchery building in Umeå, both from a real estate and urban development perspective – and the value that has been created.

With the new credit commitment we achieve conditions to continue to benefit from the significant interest to invest in short term corporate loans in today's low interest-rate environment. At the same time we maintain the security in liquidity supply since the commercial papers are fully backed by this new and extended credit commitment which will also reduce ongoing commitment fee on unutilised credits

Kungsleden warmly welcomes H&M and looks forward to continuing to develop the Tegnér mall together with our new and existing tenants

We are very pleased to offer new spaces to our anchor tenants Systembolaget and Hemköp. We have now also begun the process of creating an appealing mix of shops for the other retail spaces in the mall

We will be able to implement our new modern store concept at the mall, which is very positive. Hemköp’s customers are active and engaged, and our vision is to be the most popular supermarket. To achieve this, we offer a high proportion of fresh products, inspiring and modern stores, and a broad, affordable and sustainable product range

We are looking forward to moving into our new modern premises at the mall. The cooperation with Kungsleden has gone very well and we follow the project with great excitement

This is a way for us to continue to work with our principal approach – our cluster strategy. Amongst other things, the strategy contributes to effective property management, good local knowledge, and our ability to understand and meet the needs of our existing and prospective customers. Our clusters are unique and our two current websites differ depending on what is relevant for each cluster. We also cooperate together with other local actors to create inviting, safe and enriching locations, regardless of the time of day

The website is a way for us to communicate with our tenants. We hope it will become a natural platform for our current and future customers, where they can find vacant properties, and get to know more about us and our properties and facilities in the area

I am very much looking forward to starting at Kungsleden, which has made an impressive journey in recent years when it comes to switching to the long-term ownership and development of real estate. It’s motivating to be part of a successful team for Västerås’ largest property owner in one of Sweden's strongest growth locations

It’s going to be exciting to develop the cluster Västerås City and create an even more attractive offering for new and current tenants. I also look forward to contributing with my experience to the team in Västerås and being a part of Kungsleden's corporate culture with values such as professionalism, consideration and joy

We welcome Mölndals Däckservice as a tenant of ours

We are pleased that Kungsleden was able to provide us with suitable premises in a good location in Mölndal. We are a modern service station that offers everything from car services and repairs to the changing of tires and the storage of tires in our tire hotel. Accessibility and good facilities are prerequisites for our business

We are happy about our partnership with an ambitious tenant that wants to contribute of Västerås City. For Kungsleden, it is important to have a strong hotel operator that constantly strives to develop its concepts and business. This initiative is further proof that the area is sought after and that Kungsleden is an attractive development partner

The prolonged cooperation enables us to invest in a completely new and unique spa experience, complete the renovation of all 202 rooms and corridors, and build an entirely new hotel entrance. All this makes our accommodation even more attractive to guests. I have wanted to take this step for a long time and it is fantastic to be able to realize it together with Kungsleden

”The Welandson family has been a shareholder of Kungsleden for several years over which we have gradually increased our ownership position. To us, this is a strategic and long-term holding. I am supportive of both Kungsleden´s new strategy and the transformation work that the board and senior management have completed over these years. Looking forward, we intend to keep our long-term ownership interest and we support the board´s proposal for a rights issue. As an expression of our support, we have committed to subscribe for the new shares pro-rata to our current shareholding and will underwrite the rights issue. We see this as a step towards further strengthening Kungsleden’s financial position as well as securing the Company´s strategy and future”.

”Today, Kungsleden is a high-quality property company which aims to deliver attractive total returns to our shareholders and build sustainable shareholder value. I am pleased that our main shareholder Gösta Welandson has expressed his support for the strategy developed by the board and management, and that he is willing to back the proposed rights issue. The rights issue will strengthen the Company´s financial position and enables reduction of financial leverage. Kungsleden will continue to refine its property portfolio and aims for financially disciplined growth. We have identified a large number of organic investment opportunities in the existing property portfolio, resulting not least from strong new lettings in 2016. Furthermore, we are continuously exploring selective and strategic add-on acquisitions in our clusters, of which the acquisition of Emporia Office in Hyllie in Malmö is a recent example”.
