Cleveland House, Washington D.C. Acquired in 2024.
The main drivers are higher occupancy rate, increasing new lease levels, and completion of capital projects.
Additionally, the in-place rent, like-for-like, increased by 5.3 percent during the last twelve months.
The trend with rental income growth continues.
Strong demand for Akelius' apartments coupled with higher occupancy rates and completion of capital projects are main drivers.
Thanks to the completion of capital projects and purely focusing on property management,
the vacancy rate, like-for-like, decreased from 5.2 to 4.8 percent during the last twelve months.
Vacancy rate excluding construction work and planned sales was 1.9 percent.
Capitalization rates seem to stabilize at high level due to persistently high interest rates. Capitalization rate went from 4.74 to 4.89 percent during 2024. The negative value growth was EUR ‑102 million, or ‑1.8 percent.
The loan-to-value decreased from 42 to 36 percent during the year.
Akelius financial policy threshold is set to 35 percent.
The Board has approved the deviation from the financial policy as it is deemed to be marginal.
Akelius Residential Property AB (publ) expects to sell its remaining 51,800,760 shares in Castellum AB for SEK 130 per share to its parent company. Government approval is expected during the first quarter of 2025. The proceeds will be used to repay maturing debt.
In addition, Akelius still has a financial guarantee of EUR 1,900 million from the main owner.
The average interest rate decreased from 1.38 to 1.15 percent during the year. The interest rate hedge is 3.7 years.
Akelius acquired one property of 214 apartments in Washington D.C. in December.
Purchase price was EUR 68 million. The property is rent regulated, has no need of upgrade, and provides a stable cash flow from day one.
Akelius completed the sale of eight properties in Paris for EUR 20 million during the year.
In January 2025, Akelius sold one property in Washington D.C. and one in Paris. Total sales price was EUR 6 million. The sold properties required large capital investments.
Finishing large capital projects, reducing vacancies, selecting the right property, and implementing efficient energy measures will continue to pay off.

Akelius has implemented portfolio-wide energy measures during the quarter, delivering environmental benefits and cost savings.
Two Montreal properties earned the BOMA BEST certification in October. 14 more certifications are in progress.
Akelius implemented the M2G technology at four high gas-consumption properties in London.
By using digital sensors to optimize boiler firing and minimize dry cycling, the initiative is expected to save 93 MWh
annually.
That is equivalent to powering 24 homes for a year.
Insulating hot water heating pipes at 511 Place d'Armes in Montreal reduced natural gas consumption by 8 percent.
Boiler upgrades at 110 Wellesley Street East in Toronto cut energy use by 45 percent, reducing emissions by 85 tons. This is equivalent of the carbon sequestered by 1,400 tree seedlings grown for 10 years.
The project won the CREST Award in the emission reduction category for multi-unit residential buildings.
At the end of the year, 40 percent of Akelius properties in the US have installed solar panels.
The target is to have solar installed on 60 percent by the end of 2026.
