Platzer CEO, P-G Persson, comments:

"After the summer period we have experienced strong, positive net rental activities. The outlook for the development projects that we are working on and are about to launch is more favourable than expected, already creating value added. Combined with a property market in the Gothenburg area that is facing declining return requirements, this will result in the highest value added in a single quarter in Platzer during my time at the helm.”

"Since Platzer's IPO and issue of new shares at the end of last year, we have had the funds to grow through major acquisitions. After the end of the period, we have entered into property purchase agreements worth SEK 700 million in an area whose future development potential fits perfectly well with our growth strategy. I am both pleased and satisfied that we have had the patience and managed to keep our cool to wait for the right business opportunities for us, and we still see potential for attractive property investments in the Gothenburg area."
