Staffan Bulow's questions to Fastighets AB Balder (FSTGY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Inquired about the strategy behind potential property sales (offensive vs. defensive), opportunities for acquiring properties from JVs or increasing ownership in SATO, the potential sales value of unsold Karlatornet apartments, and the outlook for like-for-like rental growth in 2025.
Answer
The comment on transactions is a general observation that the market offers good opportunities for both buying and selling, not tied to a specific strategy as leverage reduces automatically. They are open to dissolving JVs and increasing their SATO ownership if it creates value. The potential sales value of unsold Karlatornet apartments is roughly SEK 1.3 billion. They expect like-for-like rental growth in 2025 to be in the same area as the current 2.9%.
