P-G Persson, CEO at Platzer, comments: 

-          The situation in Gothenburg’s property and rental market is very favourable. Business is in full swing. Urban development and in particular residential developments are ongoing even though many areas remain at the planning stage. At the same time, low interest rates continue to prevail. At Platzer, this means that we are experiencing strong demand in all our business segments, including rental of office and industrial / warehouse premises, as well as property sales and development projects.

 

-          We closed the single largest, in terms of value, deal this year during the third quarter when we sold development rights in Södra Änggården with underlying value of SEK 1.7 billion. The sale is conditional on the zoning plan becoming legally binding, which is expected to take place in the first six-month period of 2018. Thereafter will the effect be visible in our books.
