SURPLUS RATIO

Long-term target as of 2020: 75%

INVESTMENT VOLUME

Target: At least SEK 1,500m per year

RETURN ON PROJECTS¹

Target: At least 20% 1) The return for projects in Q3, 2016, totalled 82%.

TRANSACTION PROFIT²

Target: 10%

2) The transaction profit for 2015 amounted to 84%.

Persistent rental growth and rising property values

The favourable conditions, with rising rent levels, falling yield requirements and persistently very low interest rates are enduring, and we are seeing continued strong demand and rising values for quality properties, which is also reflected in earnings for the period.

Persistently strong market

Following an intensive spring, the pace of new lettings was, as expected, slightly calmer in the summer and at the start of autumn. Net lettings in the third quarter amounted to SEK 4m. Renegotiations continue to contribute, with rental growth of over 20 per cent in relation to the most recently completed renegotiations, which are normally three years previously. The levels at which we are currently signing leases indicate that rental growth has accelerated since the beginning of the year.

Positive earnings contributions from all parts of business model

We are now seeing that rental income in identical portfolios is growing, both as a result of completed projects and owing to the fact that higher rent levels are gradually impacting on earnings. The surplus ratio was 72 per cent. We are satisfied with this figure for the time being, but are continuing to work towards our long-term target of 75 per cent. It is pleasing to see an improvement in earnings from property management as a result of growing rental income and persistently low interest expenses.

Value growth in the property management portfolio continued. At the beginning of the year, much of the value increase was attributed to a lower yield requirement. In the third quarter, value growth was primarily fuelled by higher rent levels.

The project portfolio also contributed with strong value growth. All our major projects are progressing according to schedule. In the current strong market, the return after nine months is 82 per cent, which is way above our target of at least 20 per cent. Now that the last tenants have moved out of the Orgeln 7 property in Sundbyberg, we have launched a conversion and extension project at the property. The investment totals SEK 944m. By completely renovating the existing house and building on four floors, we create a modern office building of about 36,000 square meters, including shops and services. The project creates exactly what customers demands today, namely modern offices in an attractive location with good service and excellent public communications. Given these conditions, I am confident that we will have leases signed well in advance of the project's completion during summer 2018.

We also sold a few properties in the autumn, all of which were outside Fabege's priority areas, with low development potential. Together with the sale of Uarda 5 in February, the transactions made a substantial contribution to total earnings. After the end of the quarter, we announced that Fabege will receive an additional consideration from a transaction that took place in 2010. The additional consideration will provide an earnings boost of at least SEK 200m, which will be reported in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Competitive capital market and more green financing

There is a considerable level of interest in our bond issues on the capital market, and the terms remain extremely favourable. We have yet to see any negative effect from the decision of several banks not to publish shadow ratings. SEB has chosen to continue providing shadow ratings and has given Fabege a BBB- rating. The commercial paper programme is now fully subscribed and after the summer we issued an additional SEK 460m in a green bond via Nya SFF.

Market outlook

The equities market has seen a turbulent few months, with falls in share prices in the property sector following concerns about an economic slowdown and interest rate hikes. However, STIBOR looks set to remain negative for the coming year and will continue to be low for the foreseeable future, which is good for the property sector.

Both the property and rental markets have remained very strong. Given the prevailing market conditions and Fabege's attractive property and project portfolio, the prerequisites are favourable for strong earnings in 2016. More completed projects will increase rental volumes which, combined with continued operational efficiency and low interest expense, is expected to generate better profit from property management. Fabege is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

Earnings Jan–Sep 20161

Increased rental income, lower interest expenses and improved earnings from associated companies led to a 23 per cent rise in profit from property management. Continued value growth in the property portfolio contributed to the strong earnings for the period.

Revenues and earnings

Profit after tax for the period increased to SEK 4,346m (2,054), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 26.28 (12.42). Profit before tax for the period rose to SEK 5,166m (2,637). Unrealised value changes in the property portfolio increased due to the strong trend in the rental and property market.

Rental income amounted to SEK 1,573m (1,493) and net operating income to SEK 1,125m (1,080). Completed projects contributed to income growth, which was to some extent offset by the divestment of Uarda 5. In an identical portfolio, rental income rose by around 9 per cent and net operating income increased by roughly 10 per cent. The surplus ratio was 72 per cent (72).

The increase in central administration costs was largely due to the fact that the provision for Fabege's profit-sharing scheme has doubled in accordance with a decision by the AGM.

Realised changes in property values totalled SEK 182m (4) and related mainly to profit from the sale of Uarda 5 in Arenastaden and Pan 1, Gamla stan. Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 4,478m (1,970). The SEK 3,312m (1,631) unrealised rise in the value of the property management portfolio resulted from properties with higher rent levels and a lower yield requirement in all Fabege submarkets. The average yield requirement declined to 4.70 per cent (4.94 at year-end). The project portfolio contributed to an unrealised change in value of SEK 1,166m (339), primarily due to development gains in the major project properties.

The share in profit of associated companies amounted to SEK –23m (–80). The item included a positive gain of SEK 18m from the liquidation of joint operations in Gamla SFF. Otherwise, the item related mainly to Arenabolaget i Solna KB.

Unrealised changes in value in the derivative portfolio totalled SEK –131m (111), primarily due to lower long-term interest rates. Net interest expense declined to SEK – 412m (–436), mainly due to lower market interest rates.

Segment reporting

The Property Management segment generated net operating income of SEK 1,044m (1,035), corresponding to a surplus ratio of 73 per cent (73). The occupancy rate was 94 per cent (92). Profit from property management was SEK 663m (515). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 3,312m (1,631).

The Property Development segment reported net operating income of SEK 81m (45), making a surplus ratio of 56 per cent (58). Earnings from property management totalled SEK –26m (1). Unrealised changes in the value of properties amounted to SEK 1,166m (339).

The Transactions segment realised changes in value of SEK 182m (4) through property sales during the period.

Reclassifications during the period between the Property Management and Property Development segments are stated in the note on Segment Reporting on page 15.

Financing

Fabege employs long-term credit facilities subject to fixed terms and conditions. The company's creditors mainly comprise the major Nordic banks.

Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the quarter totalled SEK 20,818m (21,068), with an average interest rate of 2.63 per cent excluding, and 2.75 per cent including commitment fees on the undrawn portion of committed credit facilities. Unutilised committed credit facilities amounted to SEK 3,086m.

In the third quarter, Fabege issued an additional green bond of SEK 460m with two-year maturity within the framework of the co-owned company Nya Svensk FastighetsFinansiering (Nya SFF). Through the establishment of an MTN programme subject to special conditions with regard to sustainability and the environment, Fabege launched a new green financing opportunity in April of SEK 2,000m. An initial issue of SEK 600m with a maturity of two years was carried out in May. In addition to this, the company has previous green financing from the European Investment Bank, along with a green bank loan. Green financing totals 12 per cent of outstanding loans, or 16 per cent of total loan facilities. As the company's properties gain environmental certification, the objective is for financing to be sustainable as well, and Fabege welcomes and encourages the new responsible financing opportunities that are being established on the market.

On 30 September, Fabege had outstanding bonds of SEK 1,733m via Nya SFF, of which SEK 866m related to green bonds.

Fabege has a commercial paper programme of SEK 5,000m, which was fully subscribed at the end of the quarter. Fabege has available credit facilities covering all outstanding commercial paper at any given time.

At 30 September, the average maturity was 3.9 years and the loan-to-value ratio was 47 per cent.

The average fixed-interest term for Fabege's loan portfolio was 2.5 years, including the effects of derivative instruments. The average fixed-interest term for variableinterest loans was 84 days. During the period, additional fixed-interest terms over seven to ten years were set for SEK 1,300m. Fabege's derivatives portfolio then comprised interest-rate swaps totalling SEK 8,800m with terms of maturity extending through 2026 and carrying fixed interest at annual rates of between 0.40 and 2.73 per cent before margins. Fabege also holds callable swaps totalling SEK 5,100m at interest rates of between 2.87 and 3.98 per cent before margins and with maturity between 2017 and 2018. Interest rates on 67 per cent of Fabege's loan portfolio were fixed using fixedincome derivatives. The derivatives portfolio is measured at market value and the change in value is recognised in profit or loss. At 30 September, the recognised negative fair value adjustment of the portfolio was SEK 789m (658). The derivatives portfolio is measured at the present value of future cash flows. The change in value is of an accounting nature and has no impact on the company's cash flow. At the due date, the market value of derivative instruments is always zero.

Net financial items included other financial expenses of SEK 20m, mainly pertaining to accrued opening charges for credit agreements and bond programmes. The total loan volume per quarter included SEK 2,000m (1,904) in loans for projects, on which interest of SEK 39m (30) had been capitalised.

FABEGE HIGH IN GRESB RANKING

In GRESB's global survey of sustainability work within the world's property companies, Fabege is still ranked highest in Sweden and number two among Europe's listed property companies in the 'office' category. We were delighted to note that the number of companies participating in the survey has increased, and that many companies and organisations have been successful in their sustainability efforts.

Fabege maintains high ambitions in this area and is intensifying efforts to achieve certification of the entire property portfolio, reduce energy consumption and increase the proportion of green financing.

Operations Jan–Sep 20161

The strong rental market, with rising rent levels for new and renegotiated leases coupled with falling yield requirements, resulted in a continued increase in property values. The effect of new lettings and renegotiations at good levels has gradually had a greater impact on valuations during the year.

Property portfolio and property management

Fabege's Property Management and Property Development activities are concentrated to a few selected submarkets in and around Stockholm, Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad. On 30 September 2016, Fabege owned 82 properties with a total rental value of SEK 2.3bn, lettable floor space of 1.1m sqm and a carrying amount of SEK 44.7bn, of which development and project properties accounted for SEK 7.6bn. The financial occupancy rate for the entire portfolio, including project properties, was 93 per cent (92). The occupancy rate in the property management portfolio was 94 per cent (92).

During the period, 128 new leases were signed at a total rental value of SEK 160m (202), of which 84 per cent pertained to Green leases. Lease terminations totalled SEK 73m (124), while net lettings amounted to SEK 87m (78). Major new lettings in the period related to project lettings to 3 in Pelaren 1, Globen, and Ambea in Uarda 6, Arenastaden, as well as a number of management lettings. Efforts to extend and renegotiate existing customer leases were consistently successful. A lease value of SEK 134m was renegotiated during the period, with an average rise in the rental value of 24 per cent, reflecting the strong rental market since the start of the year. The retention rate during the period was 79 per cent (82).

Changes in the property portfolio

The Fräsaren 9 property in Solna Business Park was taken over in the first quarter. The purchase price was SEK 152m. The property is classified as a development property. In the second quarter, the investment property Sadelplatsen 1, Järva krog, was acquired and taken over. The purchase price was SEK 172m. Furthermore, the Uarda 5 property was sold to Union Investment for a purchase price of just over SEK 2.2bn. Three more properties were sold in the third quarter, all of which were outside Fabege's priority markets and had low potential. The sales generated a capital gain of SEK 182m before taxes and SEK 452m after taxes (including reversal of a deferred tax liability).

Through reallotment, the Oxen Mindre 33, City, property was divided into two properties, in which the residential part was partitioned into a separate 3D property above.

Changes in value of properties

The entire property portfolio is externally valued at least once annually. Approximately 28 per cent of the properties were externally valued in the third quarter and the remainder were internally valued based on the most recent external valuations. The total market value was SEK 44.7bn (40.3).

Unrealised changes in value totalled SEK 4,478m (1,970). The average yield requirement declined during the period to a rounded off figure of 4.70 per cent (4.94 at year-end). The SEK 3,312m (1,631) change in the value of the property management portfolio primarily resulted from the lower yield requirement in the market, and to properties with rising rent levels. Rising rent levels have gradually had an increasing impact on the positive change in value during the year. The project portfolio contributed to a change in value of SEK 1,166m (339), mainly due to development gains in major project properties.

¹The comparison figures for income and expense items relate to values for the January–September 2015 period and for balance sheet items at 31 December 2015.

Projects and investments

The purpose of Fabege's project investments is to reduce vacancy rates and increase rents in the property portfolio, thereby improving cash flows and adding value. Property development is a key feature of Fabege's business model and should make a significant contribution to consolidated profit. The aim is to achieve a return of at least 20 per cent on invested capital. Another aim is to have all new builds certified under BREEAM-SE.

During the period, investments in existing properties and projects totalled SEK 1,719m (1,685), of which investments in projects and development properties accounted for SEK 1,420m (1,353). The return on capital invested in the project portfolio was 82 per cent. Revaluations of three project properties that are either completed or near completion contributed to the strong change in the value of the project portfolio. The capital invested in the property management portfolio, which amounted to SEK 299m and encompassed energy investments and tenant customisations, also contributed to the total growth in value.

Completed projects

February saw the completion of Uarda 7, Arenastaden, and the property was transferred from projects to management. In Q2, Nationalarenan 8 was completed and Telia took over occupancy in June, at which point the property was transferred to the property management portfolio.

Major ongoing projects

The erection of the office building at the Uarda 6 property is continuing. The frame and facade have now been assembled and work is under way on completing the frame and installations. The investment is estimated at around SEK 570m. The property is in the process of completion, with tenants gradually moving in from April to November 2017. The occupancy rate is 90 per cent.

The construction of SEB's offices in the Pyramiden 4 property in Arenastaden is proceeding. The entire frame, roof and the first office floors are now complete. Work is continuing on completing the frame, installations and furnishings. The investment is estimated at around SEK 2.3bn and the office is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in two phases: spring 2017 and spring 2018. The property is fully let to SEB.

The groundwork and project design on the office building at the Signalen 3 property in Arenastaden has begun. The investment is estimated at SEK 1,080m. ICA has signed a lease on about 78 per cent of the lettable space. The office is scheduled to be ready for occupancy during the third quarter of 2018.

The project relating to the Hörnan district, which is part of the Lagern 2 property in Råsunda, is also progressing. A new office building with a total area of around 16,000 sqm is being constructed at the property. The investment is estimated at almost SEK 530m. The foundation work is largely complete and work is now under way on the framework. The property is partly let to Telenor Sweden, with occupancy scheduled for summer 2018. The occupancy rate is 67 per cent.

In June 2016, a decision was made on an investment of approximately SEK 750m regarding the construction of an office building at the Pelaren 1 property, Globen. Work is currently in progress on the foundations and assembly of the frame. The property is 70 per cent leased to 3.

The Grand Central Sundbyberg project has been launched, following a decision regarding an investment to convert and extend the Orgeln 7 property in Sundbyberg. Demolition and work on reinforcing the frame is currently under way. The investment is estimated at around SEK 944m. The building will be extended by 11,500 sqm, to bring the total lettable area to 36,000 sqm. The property is empty and efforts are under way on the lettings side. The new office is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in June 2018.

GRAND CENTRAL SUNDBYBERG

We are rebuilding and extending Grand Central Sundbyberg, to include four floors totalling roughly 11,500 sqm to create space of a size that few other buildings in the Stockholm area are able to offer. The new property will have a total area corresponding to around 36,000 sqm and it will be ready for occupancy in summer 2018. Grand Central Sundbyberg offers a vast range of services and excellent transport links. Sundbyberg is currently the only place in Stockholm that offers underground railway, commuter train, light-railway and inter-city connections. There is also an entrance to the commuter, underground and inter-city railways in the building.

Other financial information

Human resources

At the end of the quarter, 155 people (147) were employed by the Fabege Group.

Parent Company

Sales during the period amounted to SEK 120m (113) and earnings before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK –627m (29).

Net investments in property, equipment and shares totalled SEK 0m (0).

Acquisition and transfer of treasury shares

The 2016 AGM renewed the authorisation of the Board to buy back and transfer shares in the company for the period extending up until the next AGM. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares at any time. No shares were bought back during the period.

Opportunities and risks

Risks and uncertainties relating to cash flow from operations relate primarily to changes in rents, vacancies and interest rates. A more detailed description is presented in the risk section of the 2015 Annual Report (pages 56–59). The effect of the changes on consolidated earnings is shown in the risk analysis and in the sensitivity analysis in the 2015 Directors' Report (pages 49–61).

Properties are recognised at fair value and changes in value are recognised in profit or loss. The effects of changes in value on consolidated profit, the equity/assets ratio and the loan-to-value ratio are also presented in the risk section and the sensitivity analysis in the 2015 Annual Report. Financial risk, defined as the risk of insufficient access to longterm funding through loans, and Fabege's management of this risk are described in the 2015 Annual Report (pages 58–59 and 71–74).

No material changes in the company's assessment of risks have arisen following publication of the 2015 Annual Report. Fabege's aims for the capital structure are to have an equity/assets ratio of at least 35 per cent and an interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0. The aim for the loan-to-value ratio is a maximum of 55 per cent.

The sensitivity analysis shows the effects on the Group's cash flow and profit on an annualised basis after taking account of the full effect of each parameter. 1In the short term, interest expenses increase regardless of whether the short-term rate rises or falls. Due to interest rate floors in loan agreements, Fabege is not able to fully utilise negative interest rates, whereby a negative outcome arises even when interest rates are reduced.

Earnings and key ratios are affected by realised and unrealised changes in the value of properties. The table shows the effect of a 1 percentage point change in value after deferred tax deduction.

Events after balance sheet date

In 2010, Fabege divested a property portfolio to Profi Fastigheter. The parties have subsequently jointly pursued detailed planning work to enable the development of housing at two of the properties. Profi Fastigheter has now concluded an agreement to carry out a housing project with a third party, which will result in additional consideration being paid to Fabege.

Provided a new zoning plan gains legal approval, the additional consideration is estimated to be at least SEK 200m and will be reported as a realised change in value in the fourth quarter of 2016.

SEK 87m

Net lettings Jan–Sep 2016

Seasonal variations

Expenses for the running and maintenance of properties are subject to seasonal variations. For example, cold and snowy winters give rise to higher costs for heating and snow clearance, while hot summers result in higher cooling costs. Activity in the rental market is seasonal. Normally, more business transactions are completed in the second and fourth quarters, whereby net lettings in these quarters are usually higher.

Market outlook

Both the property and rental markets have remained very strong. Given the prevailing market conditions and Fabege's attractive property and project portfolio, the prerequisites are favourable for strong earnings in 2016. More completed projects will increase rental volumes which, combined with continued operational efficiency and low interest expense, is expected to generate better profit from property management. Fabege is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.

Accounting policies

Fabege prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Review report

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are submitted both in the notes and in other sections of the interim report.

The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report. New or revised IFRS standards or other IFRIC interpretations that came into effect after 1 January 2016 have not had any material impact on consolidated financial statements.

The Parent Company prepares its financial statements according to RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as in the latest annual report.

Stockholm, 20 October 2016

CHRISTIAN HERMELIN Chief Executive Officer.

We have conducted a limited assurance review of the interim report for Fabege AB (publ) for the 1 January – 30 September 2016 period. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited assurance review.

Scope and focus of the limited assurance review

We conducted our limited assurance review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A limited assurance review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other limited assurance procedures. The procedures performed in a limited assurance review vary in nature from, and are considerably less in scope than for a reasonable assurance engagement conducted in accordance with the ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance conclusion.

Conclusion

Based on the limited assurance procedures we have performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that this interim report has not been prepared for the Group, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

SHARE INFORMATION

SOLNA BUSINESS PARK

Fabege has decided to develop Solna Business Park into an urban, compact district with a mixture of different buildings. Our vision is a combination of 36,000 workers (currently 8,500), 5,000 residents (currently none), 60,000 sqm of services and shops (currently 20,000 sqm) and decking over of tracks.

Christian Hermelin, CEO comments:

"We know where buildings need to be constructed and other major features of the development, but there is still a great deal yet to be decided. And that's how we want it. A good district for companies, residents and visitors needs to be the fruit of an open dialogue between several different stakeholders. We want customers, customers' representatives, the city, architects, consultants, other property owners, developers and of course ordinary members of the public to be involved."

Definitions

The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The company considers that these measures provide valuable supplementary information for investors and company management, as they enable an assessment and benchmarking of the company's presentation. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should not therefore be regarded as substitutes for measures defined according to IFRS. The following key ratios are not defined according to IFRS, unless otherwise stated.

SEGMENT REPORTING

in accordance with IFRS 8, segments are presented from the point of view of management, divided into the following segments: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions. Rental income and property expenses, as well as realised and unrealised changes in value including tax, are directly attributable to properties in each segment (direct income and expenses). In cases where a property changes character during the year, earnings attributable to the property are allocated to each segment based on the period of time that the property belonged to each segment. Central administration and items in net financial expense have been allocated to the segments in a standardised manner based on each segment's share of the total property value (indirect income and expenses). Property assets are directly attributed to each segment and recognised on the balance sheet date.

SURPLUS RATIO*

Net operating income divided by rental income.

TOTAL YIELD

Net operating income for the period plus unrealised and realised changes in the value of properties divided by market value at period end.

This is Fabege

Fabege is one of Sweden's leading property companies focusing mainly on letting and managing office premises as well as city district development. The company offers modern premises in prime locations in fast-growing submarkets in the Stockholm region, such as Stockholm inner city, Solna and Hammarby Sjöstad.

Fabege offers attractive and efficient premises, mainly offices but also retail and other premises. The concentration of properties to wellcontained clusters leads to greater customer proximity and, coupled with Fabege's extensive local expertise, creates a solid foundation for efficient property management and high occupancy.

At 30 September 2016, Fabege owned 82 properties with a total market value of SEK 44.7bn. The rental value was SEK 2.3bn.

Business concept

Fabege works with sustainable city district development, with a primary focus on commercial properties within a limited number of well located submarkets in the Stockholm area.

Fabege aims to create value by managing, improving and actively adjusting its property portfolio through sales and acquisitions.

Business model

Fabege's operational activities are conducted in three business areas: Property Management, Property Development and Transactions.

Strategy for growth

Fabege's strategy is to create value by managing and developing the property portfolio and through transactions, acquiring and divesting properties with the aim of increasing potential in the property portfolio. Fabege's properties are located in the most liquid market in Sweden.

Attractive locations lead to a low vacancy rate in the property management portfolio. Modern properties permit flexible solutions and attract customers. With its concentrated portfolio and high-profile local presence, investments aimed at raising the attractiveness of an area benefit many of Fabege's customers.

Value-driving factors

A number of external factors affect Fabege's operations and these, together with the transaction volume and the office market trend in Stockholm, represent the prerequisites for the company's success.

Stockholm is growing

Stockholm is one of the five metropolitan areas in Western Europe where the population is rising the most. According to forecasts, Stockholm County will have half a million inhabitants more than today by 2030. People in the active labour force account for the largest growth, which is boosting demand for office premises.

Changes in demand

New technology and new working methods are fuelling demand for flexible and space-efficient premises in prime locations. Excellent peripheral service and good communication links in the form of public transport services are in increasing demand, as are environmentally certified offices and green leases.

Financial trend

The trend for both the Swedish and global economy impacts the property market. Lower vacancy rates in Stockholm's inner city and a stronger economic climate have historically meant rising rents.

Sustainable urban development

Sustainability issues are becoming increasingly important, in terms of both individual properties and entire areas. Interest in environmental considerations involving choice of material and energy-saving measures is on the rise. Demand is increasing for premises in areas with a favourable mix of offices, retail, service and residential units, as well as excellent transport links and environmental commitment.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The essence of Fabege's operations is finding the right premises for a customer's specific requirements and ensuring that the customer is content. This is accomplished through longterm work and based on close dialogue with the customer, thus building mutual trust and loyalty.

TRANSACTIONS

Property transactions are an integral part of Fabege's business model and make a significant contribution to the company's earnings. The company continuously analyses its property portfolio to utilise opportunities to increase capital growth, through both acquisitions and divestments.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

High-quality property development is the second key cornerstone of our business. Fabege has long-standing expertise in pursuing extensive property development projects with the aim of attracting long-term tenants to properties that have not yet been fully developed and can be redesigned based on the customer's specific requirements.
