Platzer’s CEO P-G Persson said:

  • “2015 was the company's most successful year. Income from property management increased by 26%. We comfortably achieved our long-term financial targets. Profitable property transactions, a high pace in lettings and successful project development, together with lower interest rates and falling yield requirements, were the primary drivers behind the positive result.”

  • “Our property portfolio has grown over the years as we have acquired and developed properties in selected growth areas in Gothenburg. At the same time, we have successively built an organisation with a high level of competence in real estate, which has enabled us to more than double our property assets in the last four years and increase our net asset value per share by 60%. We will continue to play an ever more active part in both the early stages of urban development and the management phase of selected areas. We are 100% focused on the Gothenburg area and I am convinced that it is this local focus that will enable us to continue to deliver good results in coming years.”
