The Swedish Competition Authority has approved Wihlborgs' previously announced acquisition of Castellum's property portfolio in Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. As a result, all conditions for the transaction have been fulfilled and the acquisition can now be completed.
Wihlborgs notified the Swedish Competition Authority of the acquisition on 14 July 2026. The Authority has decided to clear the transaction without intervention. The approval was one of the conditions for the transaction announced on 26 June 2026.
Closing is scheduled for 1 October 2026.
"The Swedish Competition Authority's approval means that we can now complete the transaction and focus on a smooth integration. In line with our strategy, we continue to grow in markets where we have deep local knowledge, a strong local presence and favourable conditions to create new possibilities for our tenants. We now look forward to taking on the new portfolio and continuing to develop it with the same long-term perspective that characterises everything we do", says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.
