Swedish property specialist Kungsleden has created three geographical asset management units – Stockholm, Gothenburg/Malmö and Mälardalen - and recruited Ulrica Sjöswärd as head of real estate of the newly established asset management unit Gothenburg/Malmö.
'Ulrica Sjöswärd is highly experienced when it comes to property management and has a thorough knowledge of the property market in Gothenburg and south-west Sweden,' commented Biljana Pehrsson, CEO at Kungsleden. 'With the addition of Ulrica, Kungsleden will gain a head of real estate capable of leading the new asset management unit into the next growth phase.'
Kungsleden's regions to date, Stockholm and Mälardalen, become the new property portfolio areas Stockholm and Mälardalen, headed up by heads of real estate Sven Stork and Mats Eriksson respectively. Current regions Gothenburg and Malmö are being merged to form the new asset management unit Gothenburg/Malmö, led by Sjöswärd. Sjöswärd will be a member of Kungsleden’s management team.
Meanwhile, the local organisations within each asset management unit are being consolidated via the establishment of additional market areas, with locally-based asset managers, assistant property managers, leasing managers and technical managers. The new property management organisation will comprise a total of twelve market areas.
Sjöswärd joins Kungsleden from an equivalent position at Platzer, where she has been a member of the management team. Sjöswärd assumes the role as of 24 April.
