"For Castellum, this resulted in a new record quarter - income from property management rose 13%. The strong earnings after the third quarter mean that I am now even more convinced that in 2018, Castellum will be able to meet its overall target: an increase in income from property management (and thus the dividend) of 10%," says CEO Henrik Saxborn.

"New profitable development opportunities arise through continued high demand for modern, sustainable office spaces. Over the last few years, Castellum has taken a leading role in the expansion of Nyhamnen in central Malmö by constructing a new Swedish National Courts Administration and a new Nordic head office for E.ON. The investment totals SEK 2.3 billion and is one of the largest in the company's history. This further reinforces Castellum's position as a community-builder in the Öresund region," concludes Saxborn.
