Comments from Hufvudstaden’s President, Anders Nygren.

”The market for offices in attractive city locations remained stable in the third quarter. Even if the letting process has become slightly more protracted, several new contracts have been signed in Stockholm. We also received the good news that we have confirmed our top ranking in the large company category of this year’s Consumer Satisfaction Index for office tenants.

Our low risk profile gives us stability and the opportunity to complete our development projects despite the higher interest rate environment. One of these projects is Vildmannen 7, which was inaugurated in August. Most of the premises are already leased to operations that enhance Bibliotekstan as a market-place.

The situation in the retail sector is currently challenging with high inflation and rising interest rates. Despite the situation we are observing that vacancies which arising in our attractive marketplaces are relatively quickly let to new concepts. Attention and customer flows for the CAIA Cosmetics pop-up store at the Stockholm NK department store have been exceptional. This is a good example of how physical and digital retail complement each other.”
