(Newsec Nordic report 2008)<br />

In other two ma<strong>in</strong> cities (Gothenburg <strong>and</strong> Malmö) the vacancy rates are around 9–10 per<br />

cent. In the Gothenburg area the total supply of the <strong>office</strong> premises is around 4.5 million<br />

sq.m.. The CBD area of Gothenburg comprises Nordstaden, Inom Vallgraven <strong>and</strong> the<br />

area next to Avenyn <strong>and</strong> Lilla Bommen/Gullbergsvass. There are other <strong>office</strong> locations <strong>in</strong><br />

Gothenburg such as Gårda (situated <strong>in</strong> the city centre <strong>and</strong> has a good location for<br />

communication) <strong>and</strong> the area <strong>in</strong> the Norra Älvstr<strong>and</strong>en, <strong>in</strong> the isl<strong>and</strong> of His<strong>in</strong>gen, with<br />

where the most modern <strong>office</strong> premises are located. Vasakronan, Walenstam, Diligentia,<br />

Bygg-Göta, Castellum, Alecta, Balder, Platzer <strong>and</strong> AP Fastigheter are the largest<br />

domestic property owners <strong>in</strong> the Gothenburg area.<br />

In early 2008, the vacancy rates started to go down as several new developments have<br />

been enter<strong>in</strong>g the market s<strong>in</strong>ce last year. However, newly built <strong>office</strong>s with efficient floor<br />

plans are still of great dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> the area. Many older <strong>office</strong> premises were renovated to<br />

be able to compete with the modern build<strong>in</strong>gs. Dur<strong>in</strong>g 2008 the vacancy rates <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Gothenburg area will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to decrease <strong>and</strong> the reason for that is the strong dem<strong>and</strong><br />

for modern <strong>office</strong> premises <strong>and</strong> low construction activity <strong>in</strong> the area. Average rents <strong>in</strong> the<br />

area are gett<strong>in</strong>g closer to the market level. Market rental level for <strong>office</strong> premises <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Gothenburg CBD area is SEK 1,750–2,050/sq.m. while the prime rents are <strong>in</strong> the range<br />

SEK 2,050–2,300/sq.m. The <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> rental levels is expected <strong>in</strong> H1 2008 as the<br />

dem<strong>and</strong> is high <strong>and</strong> the vacancy rates fall (Newsec Nordic Report 2008, see below Table<br />

5.1.2 <strong>and</strong> Table 5.1.3).
