SBB and Amasten also form a joint venture to build rent regulated residentials in Nyköping. SBB sells approximately 50,000 sq.m. BTA building rights to the JV at a price of SEK 3,000 per sq.m. BTA.

"We are particularly pleased to have gained a strong position in Växjö and Blekinge, where we are about to become the largest rent regulated residentials company. With these acquisitions, we become the largest independent listed residential company, which with our strong position as the Nordic region's leading player in social infrastructure properties creates continued good opportunities for value creation and growth in net asset value. We look forward to our collaboration with Amasten to invest in new construction in Nyköping as a strong part of the growing Stockholm region," says Ilija Batljan, CEO and Founder of Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB.

"SBB is a long-term property owner in a strong expansive phase. We are now focusing on Mälardalen, major northern coastal cities and the production of Riki apartments," says Jan-Erik Höjvall, CEO Amasten Fastighets AB.

The closing takes place preliminary on December 15, 2019.
