We want to build in growth regions and Borås meets our requirements,” Jacob Karlsson, CEO of K-Fast Holding AB commented. “The sellers have received planning notification for the construction of apartment blocks on the property and we will continue to pursue the detailed development plan with the aim of starting construction in fall 2025 at the earliest. Until that date, our tenant Praktiska Gymnasiet runs college operations at Risängsgatan 6.”

The sale is in line with Västprojekt’s business model where we develop attractive properties alongside partners,” commented Martin Magnusson at Västprojekt AB. “The sale frees up resources so that we can continue to develop our existing project portfolio and carry out promising new acquisitions.
