Advania co-locates to Wihlborgs’ modernised warehouse building in Nyhamnen

Advania has established itself as one of the leading IT service companies in the market with approximately 1,700 employees. Through a complete offering from the provision of IT to value-adding services, Advania helps its customers with everything from traditional IT to IT-driven innovation. 

Magasinet’s history begins in 1951, when Danish architect Tage Møller was tasked with designing a modern, fit-for-purpose warehouse building. The building is one of the most characteristic ones in the port area, with a unique staircase facing the water that once facilitated the unloading of arriving ships. When Wihlborgs took over the property and breathed new life into it in 2012, this design was given a new function in the form of balconies. Everything has been carefully renovated into modern, functional work environments.

Nyhamnen is by the water and directly connected to Malmö C. It is growing into a new and sustainable city district with a mix of housing and businesses, retail and services. When fully developed, Nyhamnen is expected to accommodate 7,000–9,000 residential units and 15,000–21,000 workplaces. Wihlborgs has several existing properties and development rights for future offices in the area.

“Our move to Magasinet in Nyhamnen is a natural step in Advania’s development. Bringing our employees together under one roof will allow us to create an even better collaborative environment, while the premises provide a modern and inspiring workplace in an emerging city district. This gives us the best possible conditions for continuing to deliver innovative IT solutions to our customers,” says Tomas Wanselius, CEO of Advania Sweden.

“We at Wihlborgs are honoured to manage and enhance historic buildings and to give them new life together with exciting tenants. We are pleased that Advania has chosen us for their co-locating needs and we look forward to continued collaboration. Magasinet will provide Advania’s employees with an excellent environment within walking distance to Malmö C and allow them to become part of Nyhamnen’s new story, which has only just begun,” says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.
