Nordisk Renting acquired a newly built nursing home in Karlskoga municipality from Peab
“We have worked for a long time together with the staff at Karlskoga municipality to design and build a nursing home that suits the needs of the staff and the residents. Now we are approaching completion, it feels very good that we have a long-term owner who can manage this in the best way,” says Thord Tärnbrant, business and project developer at Peab.
Villa Strå is a nursing home developed by PEAB for Municipality of Karlskoga. The housing has been designed based on future needs and Karlskoga’s goal of a good life and a good aging for the municipality’s residents. The property, which is located in Stråningstorp, is designed with high environmental requirements, it’s being built with climate-improved concrete and will receive a good sustainability certification. The accommodation houses 80 apartments as well as social areas. Villa Strå is planned to be finlaised in the autumn of 2025.
“We welcome Municipality of Karlskoga as a new customer to us at Nordisk Renting. We want to build long-term relationships that enable municipalities to focus on their core business. Through our solutions, we free up resources and contribute to sustainable social development, which strengthens our role as a reliable partner to the public sector,” says Anna Hallsten, CEO of Nordisk Renting.
Nordisk Renting’s business solution is to offer long-term financing of strategic real estate where municipalities are offered full control over the property through a buy-back option. Today, about 40 municipalities and regions in Sweden and Finland have used Nordisk Renting’s solution. In early stages, financing and ownership can be secured together with construction and property developers when the end customer is determined. We combine a local presence in the Nordic region and long-term customer partnerships with financial strength through our owner NatWest Bank.
“In the development of Villa Strå, it has been important for us to lean on research and the experience of the employees in the business. We get a beautiful building and it is up to us in the business to create an equally good content for those who will have their home in Villa Strå. We therefore look forward to a good and active collaboration with Nordisk Renting as a long-term owner, which is important to us,” says Bosse Björk, Head of Community Planning, Karlskoga Municipality.
