The acquired properties have a total lettable area of approximately 36 000 square meters, of which just over half are residential. The annual rental value amounts to approximately SEK 40 million and the rental duration is 3.6 years. The occupancy rate for the commercial premises amounts to 95 per cent and the largest commercial tenants are hotels Scandic, Erlaskolan and Nordea. The transaction takes place in a company form and will be reported in the second quarter of 2022.

“We continue to acquire strategically well positioned properties that both complement our existing portfolio and strengthen our position in Falun and Borlänge. In Borlänge, we are starting tup the project of moving the university into the city center. We are experiencing an increased demand for both commercial premises and housing in connection with this. The properties have great potential, which increases our opportunities to continue to create growth and develop attractive neighborhoods and places in both cities. Friday's news about Northvolt's plans for a new gigafactory in Borlänge is also very exciting for the development of the region”, says Annie Franzon, Head of Transactions, Diös.

“With an already strong presence in Falun and Borlänge and a strategic focus on development for both cities, Diös is the right buyer of the properties we sell”, says Stefan Ericson, Mecastell Förvaltnings AB.
