Kungsleden invests in new senior high school

Within its jointly owned company Hemsö, listed Swedish property company Kungsleden AB (publ) is forming a joint venture with construction and civil engineering group Peab with the purpose of building a senior high school in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm. The total investment for the school is a maximum of SEK 400 m, with a minimum property yield of 7%.

The intended building has leasable area of 14,904 sq.m. The Municipality will be leasing the school on a 20-year rental agreement. The definitive rent will be determined based on the cost of the project.

The senior high school is scheduled for completion in July 2011. After completion, Hemsö is entitled to acquire Peab’s holding in the joint venture.

“I view a 20-year rental agreement with the Municipality as a very good investment,” commented Kungsleden’s Chief Executive Thomas Erséus, “and it also feels good to be able to contribute to a better schooling environment for senior high school students in Upplands Väsby.”
