The assets provide 22,400 m2 of space in the centre of Gothenburg, with major tenants including Friskis & Svettis, Försäkringskassan and Zara. Ownership of the assets will be transferred on September 1.

The properties consist of Gårda 22:24 with nearly 8,700 m2, Gårda 20:1, Inom Vallgraven 20:9, 55:1 and 57:7.
