Police building becomes municipal building in Göteborg

Vasakronan leases premises in former Göteborg police building to District Council.

The former Göteborg police building located on Tredje Långgatan will welcome a new tenant in the spring, when the Linné District Council moves into its new 2,200 m² premises. At that time, the entire property, which was built in 1911 in the National Romantic style, will have been renovated and modified. Among other changes, the detention cells will be made into office spaces and the gymnasium will be transformed two stories of offices.

“We are pleased to be able to lease appropriate premises next door to our central administration. Having the buildings so close to one another will make it easier for us to coordinate our work. This feels like a new beginning for the entire operation,” says Conny Westerlund, acting Chairman of the District Council.

The operations that will occupy the new premises are the District Council’s offices for care of the elderly, individual and family care and preschools and schools. Some coordination with the administration building will occur with regard to personnel issues.

“It feels gratifying that we have succeeded in leasing the property to a long-term tenant that is important to the district. The premises will now be modified to suit the operations as best as possible,” says Rolf Åkerman, Senior Vice President and Regional Manager at Vasakronan in Göteborg.

Vasakronan in Göteborg owns and manages 29 properties, including such profile buildings as Läppstiftet and parts of Nordstan.
