Apoteket AB chooses Arenastaden and Fabege for its new headquarters.


Apoteket AB has signed a seven-year lease with Fabege in the Farao 8 property in
Arenastaden. The annual rental value amounts to about SEK 10m. Occupancy is
scheduled for April 2013.

Arenastaden is evolving into what could become Sweden’s most exciting city
district – with a unique mix of a number of attractive components: Friends
Arena, Sweden’s national football arena, will be inaugurated in autumn 2012.
Quality Hotel Arena, a conference and congress hotel with 399 double rooms, will
open in autumn 2013. Mall of Scandinavia, Northern Europe’s most modern shopping
centre, will open in autumn 2015. A total of 3,000 housing units are being built
here, with initial occupancy in May 2014. We are also developing future-secured
offices in the shape of 25,000 workplaces, in cooperation with a number of
Scandinavia’s most well-reputed architects. Arenastaden will offer the pulse of
a city combined with proximity to nature. An urban feeling but with modern
properties that are easy to adapt.

“Another major company with a strong brand is now opting to locate its
headquarters in Arenastaden. The fact that Apoteket has also chosen Arenastaden
confirms that we are on the right path to realising our vision for the new city
district. Arenastaden’s unique configuration and great location creates the best
potential for a vibrant city and prime office location. Arenastaden is the
natural choice for those seeking an urban feeling but in a modern and
sustainable area,” says Christian Hermelin, CEO of Fabege.

“We acquired the property with a high degree of vacancy in late 2011 with the
aim of providing modern office space in Arenastaden with immediate occupancy.
Accordingly, it is gratifying that we have now let the entire office area in the
property to Apoteket,” concludes Urban Sjölund, Director of Properties.
