Platzer’s CEO, P-G Persson, said: 

-        Platzer’s business continues to grow through acquisition, as well as through property and project development. In the first half of the year, the value of the property portfolio increased by SEK 0.7 billion to SEK 10.6 billion, which is in line with our strategic plan to boost the value of our property portfolio by SEK 1-1.5 billion per year. The latest acquisition also represents our first step into Lindholmen, one of the most exciting areas undergoing development in Gothenburg. 

-        Currently, we have projects underway worth SEK 0.8 billion. At Gamlestads torg we planted the first spade in the ground in June, marking the start of the development of the main building in the new hub being built at the site. The process of preparing detailed development plans is in progress for properties in Gårda, Skår and Älvsborg, comprising a total area of 75,000 sq m. Platzer also has a development portfolio comprising a potential area of just over 425,000 square metres.
