Nordstaden property (former Hasselblad Building) attracts new tenants

NCC Property Development has concluded leases with several new tenants for the
Nordstaden property in Gothenburg (former Hasselblad Building) comprising a
total of 3,860 square meters of floor space. The property has already been sold
to Credit Suisse Asset Management and the new tenants mean that approximately 45
percent of Nordstaden has now been leased.

NCC Property Development has signed a contract with Carmenta AB, which will
lease 1,400 square meters of office space. Carmenta AB supplies operative
geographical information systems to such customers as the defense sector and
aircraft industry, as well as within the public safety area. NCC has also signed
a lease covering 230 square meters of office space with Projektgaranti, a
company that engages in project and construction management in all phases of
development, from concept to end product within the construction and real estate
sector.

In addition, Sportlife is to open an exclusive training facility in Nordstaden,
measuring 2,230 square meters. 

All new tenants will move in to the building when it is completed around the end
of 2007.

NCC is developing the Hasselblad Building into a state-of-the-art office
property with a distinctive design. The property will have one of the best
locations in Gothenburg. As a neighbor  to the Gothenburg Opera House, the
property will become a focal point from the water. The open area in front of the
property, St Eriks Torg, is intended to be the starting point for the extended
Avenyn, with Götaplatsen as the other end.

“We are noting increased interest in leasing premises in the Nordstaden
Building, particularly from various service companies that regard location as
important. We intend to create a dynamic work environment, in which tenants can
meet other creative companies and also have access to health maintenance and
other types of services,” says Manne Aronsson, Acting Regional Manager, NCC
Property Development, Western Sweden. 

The tenants' increased requirements in the shape of turnkey solutions that
include training opportunities, health maintenance and other types of services
matches well with the results of Future Office Study, a trend report
commissioned by NCC.

Setterwalls Advokatbyrå and Carnegie had already previously signed leases for
Nordstaden.
