- In January 2023, Stendörren signed a five-year lease agreement, with the possibility of a five-year extension, concerning premises of 2,200 sqm in Brunna, Upplands-Bro with access from February 2023.
“Despite continued significant uncertainty in our operating environment, Stendörren reported a favorable operating trend during the fourth quarter with positive net letting for the eight consecutive quarter. A number of project related new leases were signed , and two building permits for logistics and two for light industry were obtained. Furthermore, we strengthened our presence in new markets through additional acquisitions in the Copenhagen region.
At the end of 2021 and throughout 2022, we carried out several risk-mitigating measures, such as refinancings, hedging of interest rates and hedging of energy prices. This means that we are now entering 2023 with a strong financial position. Over the next year, we will also focus on balancing the operational progress with financial maneuverability, given the more challenging sentiment on the financing market.”
