Hemsö borrows SEK 800 million from the Nordic Investment Bank
- Non-regulatory informationThe eight-year loan is unsecured and in line with the Nordic Investment Bank lending strategy to promote social sustainability in the Nordic countries. The loan is linked to the development of the Patienten 1 property in Hagastaden, Stockholm, Sweden. The property which in addition to accommodating the new St Erik Eye Hospital, will become a centre for business, research and education in eye research and care. Hemsö’s jointly owned company, Vitartes, is developing the project.
“This long-term financing is very attractive for us as it will extend Hemsö’s overall loan maturity in our Swedish loan portfolio, which has proved challenging in the Swedish bond market. We are also proud that Hemsö is able to further diversify its investor base with a new lender that supports the company’s focus on social infrastructure and Life Science,” says Nils Styf, CEO of Hemsö.
