The sale, a company transaction, is expected to close on 1 June 2026, and will be recorded at book value in Q2 2026, pending approval from the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP).

These properties, totalling approximately 19,500 m2 of rentable space, are located outside the city centres and primarily consist of industrial office, light industrial, education, and general office premises. They currently have an average occupancy rate of about 92%, generate an annual rental income of approximately SEK 32 mln (€2.7 mln), and have an average remaining lease term of four years.

The specific properties involved are Guckuskon 1, Traktorn 6, and Stallet 12 in Östersund, and Kedjan 4, Kolven 4, Formen 2, and Björnjägaren 1 in Umeå.

Annie Franzon, head of Transactions at Diös, said: “The transaction is in line with Diös’ portfolio strategy to grow in central locations with development potential, while freeing up capital through divestments in non-prioritised locations.”

Oscar Lekander, CEO of Hagabacken, added: “We are very pleased to have completed a solid transaction with Diös. The properties complement our existing portfolio well, and we look forward to owning, managing, and further developing them together with the tenants over the long term.”
