CEO statement

We have a long-term perspective in everything we do

We are leaving behind a turbulent 2023. The year was characterised by geopolitical uncertainty as well as high interest rates, inflation and construction costs. Despite the market situation, Hemsö increased its rental income and net operating income by 18 and 20 per cent respectively compared with the previous year.

I am proud of all the fantastic work done by Hemsö’s organisation over the past year!

Tenant to Hemsö – a good deal for everyone

With Hemsö as property owner, tenants get a stable and secure partner. We have chosen to focus on what we are good at – developing, owning and managing properties for public use.

  • Life and movement in the park

    The New Sports Centre in Lund is used by six different schools during the day and the gym is open from morning to late evening. This creates activity in S:t Larsparken for a large part of the day.

A new rental solution attracting interest

Swimming facilities and public baths are traditionally owned by the municipality. In Nacka municipality, a new model has been tested where the property company Hemtag builds and operates the new Myrsjö swimming facility and leases the facility to the municipality for more than 30 years.

We have the eyes of the entire municipal sector in Sweden on us. There is great interest in our solution

Ekobad is a smart and innovative solution with focus on sustainability. The swimming facility is well thought out in all areas, and this was confirmed by the external expert who reviewed the bids on our behalf. The fact that Hemsö and Tagehus Holding are behind Ekobad is another positive factor. In Nacka, we have worked with Hemsö before. It is a solid company with knowledge and a long-term approach.
