Kungsleden has signed a 12 year lease agreement with Convendum concerning Coworking in Hagastaden
Kungsleden AB (publ) has signed a new lease agreement with the co-working market player Convendum, covering 5 500 sq.m. in the unique area Blästern 14 at Gävlegatan in the heart of Hagastaden. The lease runs for 12 years and has a total rental value of SEK 300 million.
Convendum is a co-working concept in the premium segment focusing on service, technology and design. The company is currently located in seven places in Stockholm’s inner city and in Gothenburg. The concept is based on flexible leasing agreements, such as membership that provides access to offices as well as open workplaces and conference facilities with all possible services included. Convendum is a chain of office centers and a new meeting platform for innovation, capital and developement where small and medium sized companies within different segments meet.
The property Blästern 14 at Gävlegatan in Stockholm is located next to Torsplan and the new city area Hagastaden. It has a unique history that stretches back to the 1930’s when the architect Sigurd Lewerentz designed the building, which served as an office and warehouse for Philips Sweden. The entire Blästern 14 area is now undergoing a total renovation and is being converted to both hotels and modern offices covering a total of 17 000 sq.m. The history of the building has had a significant impact on the work concept for both the hotel and the co-working concept, both in terms of culture listed details as well as industrial elements.
The property will be certified according to LEED Gold and the lease agreement with Convendum is a green lease – an agreement between tenant and landlord regarding common measures to maintain or improve the premises environmental performance which is fully in line with both companies environmental profile. Estimated access will take place in the first quarter of 2020.
Kungsleden together with the hotel operator Nobis Hospitality Group, Wingårds and Convendum places Hagastaden on the map.
