Kungsleden - positive net lettings, lets to Inspecta in Malmö


After the first two quarters of the year, listed Swedish property company
Kungsleden AB (publ) has achieved positive net lettings on its commercial
portfolio. In June, it signed an eight-year lease contract with Nordic
inspection and test provider Inspecta, which is leasing a complete building of
some 1,500 sq.m. in Malmö.
This building, previously let to a school, consists of an office section and a
combined warehouse and workshop section. The tenant is scheduled to move in on 1
January 2013.
Inspecta has 25 offices in Sweden, and with its services in inspection, testing,
certification, technical consultation and training, is the Nordic market leader.
Kungsleden’s lettings in Malmö are progressing stably. Economic occupancy for
the whole Öresund region has increased from 85.9% to 87.2% in a year.
“I’m pleased to see that we achieved positive net letting in our commercial
portfolio, indicating that Kungsleden’s lettings market remains stable and its
property management is positive. We’ve re-negotiated and signed new lease
contracts with annualised value of some SEK 40 m since year-end,” commented
Kungsleden’s Chief Executive Thomas Erséus.
