On 30 May 2024, it was announced that SBB had reached an agreement with Kåpan Tjänstepension to divide SBB Kåpan Bostad AB and that the split of the housing company Unobo AB, which SBB owned together with Riksbyggen, had been completed. Both transactions have now been completed and SBB has taken over a total of 6,500 apartments spread over 75 properties totalling approximately 428,000 square metres. The properties will become part of Sveafastigheter.
"It is rewarding to build a large Sveafastigheter with leading expertise within management and development of housing. We will increase the efficiency of our operations through synergies, which will lead to higher profitability," says Leiv Synnes, CEO of SBB.
"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.
