Platzer’s CEO, P-G Persson, said:

-          There is great dynamism in the Gothenburg area. Municipalities are actively looking to boost construction of housing and office space. As a local player we have a presence in many of the most interesting development areas in and around Gothenburg. We are resolutely trying to initiate as many detailed development plans as possible, including building rights for both housing and office space. As far as the building rights for housing are concerned, we will either sell these or swap them for interesting commercial development or investment properties. In this way, Platzer is contributing to the development of Gothenburg and safeguarding the company’s future growth.

-          In the first quarter of this year we were able to make important progress in our work to initiate detailed development plans in our development areas. A detailed planning decision regarding Södra Änggården meant the go-ahead for Phase 1, which comprises future building rights of 120,000 sq m, a large proportion of which will be housing. 600 flats in the area will form part of the City of Gothenburg’s BoStad 2021 housing project to celebrate the city’s 400th Anniversary. In Backaplan and Gamlestaden we are working hard on the urban development project that is expected to result in finished detailed development plans. Very soon we will also begin construction of our high-profile property at Gamlestads torg.
