Kista is attracting companies in other areas besides IT and communications. Klövern has let 1,600 sq.m. to a retail trade company which has decided to locate its data centre in Kista. With this lease, which runs for ten years with an annual rent of SEK 1.6 million, Klövern will achieve an occupancy rate of no less than 94 per cent in Kista. The lease contract with ICA includes both data centre and offices. The tenant will move in at the latest in November 2009. "It's a well known fact that companies in the ICT sector, i.e. Information and Communication Technology, choose Kista. But it is incredibly gratifying to see that other types of companies also appreciate the concentration of specific competence in the area and are now choosing to locate their IT operations in Kista", says Klövern's CEO Gustaf Hermelin. Klövern is the largest property owner in Kista and owns 245,000 sq.m., mainly offices as well as industrial and warehouse facilities. The tenants include the new exhibition and events centre Kistamässan, whose permanent entrance on Kistagången has recently opened, and Ericsson's head office.
