Klövern has entered into a new long lease contract with Vectura
Consulting AB in Karlstad for letting an office. The annual rent
amounts to SEK 1.7 million.
The lease has a term of six years and the tenant is expected to move
in on 1 February 2010. The premises are located at the property
Barkassen 7 at the expansive Kanikenäset in Karlstad. Vectura started
on 1 January 2009 and is a merger of the Swedish Road
Administration's (Vägverket) business division Konsult and the
Swedish Rail Administration's (Banverket) Consulting Services. The
new premises will enable the merged activities to take place at the
same location. Vectura's operations are concentrated on the transport
infrastructure and consist of 1,000 consultants throughout Sweden.
Its turnover amounts to SEK 1 billion per year.
"We welcome Vectura as a stable and long-term tenant", says Klövern's
CEO Gustaf Hermelin and adds that Klövern continues to experience
good demand for premises on all markets.
"It feels extremely gratifying that we have finally found new
premises for our business. Since we see opportunities for expansion,
it is particularly important to find the right premises", says Lars
Sassner, head of division for Vectura in Karlstad.
Barkassen 7 is one of five properties owned by Klövern at Kanikenäset
in Karlstad. The area is dominated by IT and telecommunications
companies. Among Klövern's current tenants are TeliaSonera and Tieto.
The area is developing strongly with a considerable amount of
construction of new housing, among other development. A new local
plan is being produced.
