Castellum invests SEKm 443

Castellum has through wholly owned subsidiaries acquired two properties for SEKm 188 and decided on new construction and refurbishments of SEKm 255 

A property in Hagalund industrial estate, Solna municipality, has been acquired for SEKm 48. The lettable area of approx. 3,700 sq.m. consists of 1,400 sq.m. office premises and 2,300 sq.m. warehouse/industrial premises. At the time of taking possession in the beginning of November the property was fully let. 

A property in Kungsbacka has been acquired for SEKm 140. The lettable area of approx. 23,500 sq.m. consists of 4,000 sq.m. office premises and the remaining area are warehouse and manufacturing premises. The property is located next to the northern motorway junction. The land area amounts to 106,000 sq.m. and the property holds an unutilized building permission of approx. 25,000 sq.m. The property is acquired without tenants and the time of taking possession is at the end of December. 

In the central parts of Malmö, at the Gustav Adolf square, the work of converting existing premises to modern retail and office premises will be started. The work comprises refurbishment and new construction of approx. 4,000 sq.m. retail premises and approx. 2,500 sq.m. office premises. The investment amounts to SEKm 75 and will be completed in stages until completed in the autumn 2008. 

Edison Park part 1, with a lettable area of 20,000 sq.m, in Lund was completed in 2001 and the outcome has been very satisfying. The demand for premises that Edison Park represents has increased. The work has now started on building a part 2. In a first stage of the investment, 10,000 sq.m. office premises will be built for approx. SEKm 180. Also, some land and foundation work will be made in order to prepare for building of another 10,000 sq.m. in the future. The first stage of part 2 is expected to be completed during the second quarter 2008. Discussions are held with potential tenants but at the present time there are no signed contracts. 

On Castellum’s website names and addresses of properties acquired or sold since the beginning of the year are published.
