In April this year, a shared purchase agreement and a lease agreement with Vectura were approved during Saab’s Annual General Meeting.

As per the agreements, Vectura will own, produce and finance the new premises while offering Saab access to the building.

The office building will span nine stories, cover a total area of 24,000m², and adhere to stringent sustainability standards with the goal of achieving LEED Gold certification.

The property requires high amounts of security to be integrated into a modern workplace design to meet the specific requirements of Saab.

Construction is set to commence soon, with the project expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

In January, Skanska and its joint venture partner HGR General Contractors received a contract from the University of Texas for the construction of a medical education building in the US.
