Fabege delivers record results “Fabege had the capacity and driving force to capitalise on the favourable conditions in the market. Successively during the year, we renegotiated rents at increasingly higher levels, we signed leases with new customers and we continued work to make our property management and our value creation projects more efficient. As a result of all of this, we paved the way for the strong value growth that is now visible in our earnings,” says Christian Hermelin, CEO Fabege.
