Comments from Hufvudstaden's President, Anders Nygren.
"Hufvudstaden presents improved earnings for the first half of the year, with gross profit up 8 per cent. This shows that our business concept is successful, even in times of global challenges and market uncertainty.
Toward the end of the second quarter, activity in the office rental market increased slightly, and we signed leases with Visa in the NK building in Stockholm and Nordea in Kvarteret Johanna in Gothenburg. Our major redevelopment project in Stockholm, The Corner, is attracting interest and intense rental dialogues are ongoing.
In early summer, we started to see a recovery in the retail sector, with increased consumption among consumers, although some retailers are continuing to face profitability challenges. The vacancy rates among our street-level retail premises are low, and we signed leases with New Balance and House of Dagmar, for example, during the second quarter."
