Platzer’s CEO, P-G Persson, said:
It is a pleasure to be able to announce an acquisition and the closing of a project that featured prominently in the last quarter, even if finalisation took place in early July:  

-          A few days after the end of the reporting period we acquired two properties in Södra Gårda comprising total office space of 22,400 sq. m. Both properties, Gårda 18:23 and Gårda 18:24, were acquired from Vasakronan at an underlying property value of SEK 1,068 million. The acquisition consolidated our position as a leading property owner in Gårda. 

-          Our largest individual project to date, Gamlestads torg (Gamlestaden 740:132), will be completed in July by our construction partner Serneke. In August the first tenants will move in. It feels satisfying to be able to say that the project has been a success.
