The necessity centres in Näsbypark, Saltsjöbaden, Viksjö, Ekerö and Rondellen in Upplands Väsby are jointly owned with our joint venture partner NREP, through the company Stadsdelscentrum Holding AB. In addition Grandholm is the majority owner of two properties in Brommaplan next to the metro. This is jointly owned with Revelop, who also manages those properties. In Salem, Grandholm is the sole owner of the Salem necessity centre. Grandholm’s portfolio of urban necessity centres comprises a total of about 70,000 square metres of leasable space, where roughly 90% of the leasing income comes from services, health and care facilities, restaurants, grocery retail, and municipal/state tenants. Our urban necessity centre portfolio contains plans for the construction of new residential homes on owned land in a total area of approximately 60,000 m2.

Through Grandholm’s investments in Revelop’s funds, Grandholm has exposure not only to the Stockholm market but also to the real estate markets in Gothenburg and Malmö.

Corporate governance
Grandholm’s management team, composed of Tomas Otterud and Anders Åström, has solid experience with real estate and institutional asset management from companies such as JM, Alecta, Prudential of America, Aberdeen Asset Management and Credit Suisse. Tomas and Anders have been working together since 2001, when they founded Aberdeen Asset Management’s real estate related funds from fund operations in Europe and Asia. Here they managed assets in the amount of € 3 billion. After their time at Aberdeen, they were given global responsibility for Credit Suisse’s real estate related funds from fund operations which they ran until 2010.

From 2015 to 2020, Tomas was also an advisor for one of Europe’s largest and most highly regarded private equity real estate fund managers, London-based Tristan Capital Partners.

Anders clearly has the real estate sector in his blood, as his grandfather, Bertil Tvärnstedt, built up a real estate portfolio during his years as a contractor. This portfolio remains in the family’s possession to this day, and Anders’ mother, Monica Åström, who has been an active property owner throughout her life, is also a partner in the Grandholm Group’s subsidiary, Grandholm Fastigheter AB.

In charge of operations for the Grandholm Group is Andreas Hyltefors. Andreas has extensive experience from the real estate world through his employment with Ernst & Young, Öhman Fondkommission, Aberdeen Property Investors, and Keosve Management. Andreas is currently actively involved in Paliro Asset Management and Praktikertjänst Fastigheter, where he is a board member.

We are a privately owned group of companies with headquarters in Stockholm, which invests in real estate, real estate-related companies, and projects, primarily in the Nordic region. As a holding company, we are a financially strong, long-term growth investor that partners with development companies and contractors who have clear visions, interesting projects and proven competence.
