Properties and projects
Castellum is the Nordic region’s leading commercial property company, and one of the companies that owns the most properties in the Nordic region. Our portfolio is focused on attractive growth regions in Sweden as well as Copenhagen and Helsinki.
Through the associated company Entra, Castellum is also exposed to robust areas in Norway. Castellum is also developing its in-house development portfolio by securing land allocation agreements as well as acquiring building rights for new construction, expansions, and reconstruction. Castellum has a large project pipeline, but the level of activity in ongoing projects and new project starts has fallen drastically since mid-2022 while awaiting stability in the capital market and clarity as regards the cost structure. The level of transaction activity as regards acquisitions has decreased. Instead, a number of sales were decided – both portfolios and individual properties – in order to strengthen the balance sheet, which permits scope for addressing a poorly functioning capital market over the longer term.

Location | Långeberga, Helsingborg |
Area | around 22,000 sq. m. |
Occupancy | Q4 2022 |
Investment | SEK 261 M |
Helsingborg usually ranks as Sweden’s second-best city for logistics (after Gothenburg), largely owing to its geographical conditions at the intersection of the E6 and E4 motorways as well as the country’s second-largest port. Långeberga is a well-established logistics district that is simultaneously faced with an extensive expansion in which Castellum’s new venture plays an important part. Two modern buildings for logistics, warehouses and light industry – 9,000 and 11,500 square meters respectively – have been built on the Drevet 1 lot.

Castellum is constructing a new Nordic head office for around 1,500 employees, in the Nyhamnen district near Malmö Central Station.

The new construction will be certified under BREEAM’s highest sustainability certification level, and in accordance with the WELL Building Standard’s highest level, Platinum. The latter places unique demands on the health and well-being of people at their work.
