We strengthen the backbone of society

Properties for public use

Hemsö’s property portfolio is currently divided between the Swedish, German, and Finnish markets, with Sweden accounting for the largest share of the portfolio. The tenants are primarily the state, municipalities, and county councils, but also private companies with tax-funded operations.

Public properties are predominantly used for taxpayer-funded operations and are purpose-built for public services.

    Digitalization
