"It is gratifying that we continue to report positive net lettings, amounting to SEK 9 million,for the first quarter. It is our sustained work with property management that leads to new contracts, which combine to deliver these results. At a time with various restrictions, it feels positive that we have now signed agreements with four restaurants that will open in the newly renovated Helsingborg Central Station. Their faith in the future bodes well in these times," says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.

"In the past few years, we have built up a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity. On back of this, we are now underway with the new construction of the office building in Kvartetten in Hyllie, Malmö. We are also growing in Copenhagen, and planning is ongoing for the Nyhamnen area in Malmö and Västerbro in Lund. Moreover, work at Science Village in Lund is also beginning to yield tangible results."

"When the economic recovery does take place, we will be able to benefit from our strong market position, our exciting project portfolio and our access to stable, long-term financing. Following the pandemic, we are convinced that the attractiveness and growth of the Öresund region will be even stronger than before."
