Interim report Jan-Sep: Continued recovery of the office market

“Numerous and favourable lettings have resulted in positive net lettings for another quarter. These generated total positive net letting for the period of SEK 48 million. Our strong results, strengthened by one-off payments, provide us with a historically strong balance sheet. I can confirm that Wihlborgs’ business model has fared well during the special circumstances we have been faced with during the past 18 months,” says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs. 

“Three of our four largest leases during the quarter have been to public-sector tenants who contribute stability and continuity. Interest in northeastern Lund, where academia meets entrepreneurship and where Wihlborgs holds a strong position, is considerable. These are two good examples that strengthen our conviction that we are doing the right things in the right places.” 

“At Wihlborgs, we work systematically to reduce the impact our properties have on people and the environment. The new EU taxonomy is contributing to clarifying what can be called sustainable property management, but favours new construction over the retention and development of existing properties through its focus on high energy efficiency. From a lifecycle perspective, existing buildings generate the least emissions, which also needs to be highlighted through certification. This is an issue for which we and the industry need to continue to influence.”
