Stockholm inner city

The inner city of Stockholm is the largest office market in the Nordic region. With approximately 6.2m sqm of space, the sub-market accounts for over 50 per cent of all office space in Greater Stockholm. The inner city is attractive to tenants thanks to the central location, prestigious addresses, excellent transport connections and a high service level.

Fabege is the second largest property owner in the inner city, with 42 properties comprising 502,000 sqm. The portfolio is dominated by modern offices and retail outlets in prime locations. Currently, offices account for 76 per cent of the portfolio, hich represents a market share of 6 per cent of the office market.

The rental value of Fabege’s inner ity properties is SEK 1,167m, which epresents 57 per cent of the Group’s total rental value. At year-end 2010, the occupancy rate in the area was about 90 per cent. For many sectors, a central location is a high priority and price sensitivity is low, which is reflected in high rents. Tenants in the city centre mainly comprise finance companies, law firms, management consultants and other consultancies.

The main concentration of properties in the portfolio is in the area around Kungsgatan and Drottninggatan. Fabege’s holdings around Drottninggatan comprise twelve properties. In the Kungsgatan–Norrlandsgatan–Lästmakargatan area, close to Stureplan, Fabege owns a well contained cluster of eight properties.

In these property blocks, Fabege is conducting an extensive project aimed at reinvigorating a central backstreet, thus creating an attractive location in the very heart of the city.

Another priority area for Fabege is Norrtull/Norra Stationsområdet, where the company now owns five properties, including the Wenner-Gren Center landmark property. In the Kungsholmen district of Stockholm, Fabege owns buildings such as the DN Tower and the adjacent low-rise buildings.

Fabege’s rents were stable during the year. In 2011, we expect a stronger rental market with lower vacancies and higher rents.
