Transfer of ownership and payment of the purchase price will take place in connection with the completion of the court, which is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.

The court is developed by Skanska in collaboration with Vacse. The building is being constructed by Skanska Sweden.

The investment, including a construction contract of SEK 350 mln, is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 430 mln. Building permits are now in place and construction will begin immediately.

The court building will be five stories high with a total gross area of just over 10,500 m2. It will be the seat of the District Court, the Administrative Court and the Land and Environmental Court.

The aim is for the building to be BREEAM certified, level outstanding, which means that it must meet high sustainability requirements.

In addition, it is intended to achieve Energy Class A, which corresponds to halving the energy consumption compared to the Housing Authority's requirements.
