Hemfosa is acquiring 13 properties in its prioritized community service segment for a total underlying property value of SEK 420 million. The majority of the properties are located in western Sweden, with Uddevalla municipality and the Västra Götalandsregion as the largest tenants, and contain such operations as healthcare, schools and residential care facilities for the elderly. The remaining acquired community service properties are located in Nynäshamn, Skövde and Österåker.

At the same time, properties from the offices, logistics and transaction segments with an underlying value of approximately SEK 140 million are being divested. The properties are located in the districts of Uppsala, Gävle, Umeå and Eksjö.

"This makes good business sense for Hemfosa. While continuing to expand with excellent properties in our principal community service properties segment, we are streamlining our portfolio by exiting from properties in the other property categories,” says Jens Engwall, CEO of Hemfosa.
