"With its portfolio, Sveafastigheter will be one of Sweden's leading pure-play housing companies. The properties are strategically located with a focus on metropolitan regions and university cities combined with unique expertise in management and development of housing. Sveafastigheter is a unique platform for managing and developing high-quality rental housing in Sweden. If an ownership diversification is done through an IPO, Sveafastigheter will be Sweden's largest pure-play housing company in a listed environment", says Erik Hävermark, CEO of Sveafastigheter.
