Arlandastad Group

What Arlandastad Group does

Arlandastad Group AB (publ) is a Swedish publicly-listed real estate development and long-term property management company that controls two of Sweden's largest strategic development areas: Explore Arlandastad (290 hectares adjacent to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and the E4 corridor between Stockholm and Uppsala) and Explore Skavsta (4.84 million sqm surrounding Stockholm Skavsta Airport, held 90.1% with Nyköping Municipality). Founded in 2005 around an initial land assembly by principal owner Gelba / Per Taube, the company has since grown through acquisition of more than 200 hectares of Arlanda-area land (2006-2015), the 2017 SEK 315M Eurostop acquisition that became Scandinavian XPO and adjacent hotels, the 2020 Training Partner Nordic acquisition, the April 2022 SEK 117M acquisition of 90.1% of Stockholm Skavsta Airport from VINCI Airports, and a September 2021 IPO on Nasdaq First North Premier (ticker AGROUP).

The business operates a vertically integrated value chain from land acquisition through zoning, infrastructure build, building rights divestment, and long-term property management, supplemented by operating businesses that anchor the destinations: Scandinavian XPO (8,500-visitor event venue), Training Partner Nordic (automotive industry training), F60 Företagspark (business park), SEBE Flygets Långtidsparkering (long-term airport parking), Nybygget (house-manufacturer display), Stockholm Hotel Apartments, and Stockholm Skavsta Airport itself (Sweden's fourth-largest airport). Property management covers ~190,000 sqm across the two areas with 2024 underlying rental value of SEK 241.2M, 75% surplus ratio, and SEK 152.4M net operating income. The company also possesses specialist environmental technology in soil and water management, with multi-stage pond systems purging 129,000 cubic meters of water annually (the equivalent of daily drinking water for ~1 million people) before discharge.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) transaction-based building rights and completed-property divestments (recent transactions include the SEK 78.5M sale of 15,701 sqm to JSR at SEK 5,000/sqm and the SEK 158.3M sale of 37,259 sqm to Urban Partners), (2) recurring rental income from the managed commercial portfolio (aviation, hospitality, automotive, retail, service, and government tenants), and (3) operating-company cash flows that drive destination traffic. Customer base spans large enterprises: automotive tenants Volvo, Renault, Toyota, BMW, Hyundai, Autohero, Carglass; hotel operators Scandic and Strawberry; retailers Ahlsell and Byggmax; and government users including the Swedish Government Offices (Regeringskansliet). The go-to-market is B2B enterprise sales augmented by joint ventures, with a 24% loan-to-value ratio, a project portfolio of SEK 45-50 billion (under 10% utilized), and concentrated ownership (Gelba 41.8%, SBB 20.0%, Styviken 13.2%).

Direct peers

• Vacse AB: Swedish real estate company focused on developing, owning, and managing properties at Swedish airports (Luleå, Ronneby, Bromma). Most direct comparable given its similar airport-adjacent commercial real estate model in Sweden, transaction-based land development, and long-duration land holdings near aviation infrastructure.
• Catena AB: Swedish listed company specializing in logistics and infrastructure properties, with portfolio focused on strategic locations near transportation hubs. Comparable given Arlandastad's significant logistics real estate component at both Explore Arlandastad and Explore Skavsta and its strategy of building zoned, infrastructure-adjacent supply.
• NP3 Fastigheter AB: Swedish logistics property company owning properties across northern and central Sweden with a focus on transport-adjacent assets. Comparable given overlapping Swedish logistics property focus and similar target tenants in industrial and distribution segments.

Broad incumbents

• Castellum AB: Major Swedish commercial real estate company with substantial logistics and mixed-use property portfolios across Sweden. Comparable as a large Swedish developer/landlord pursuing strategic-location commercial assets, though with broader geographic and asset-class exposure than Arlandastad.
• Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB: Swedish commercial real estate company with a dense portfolio in the Öresund region. Comparable as a Swedish commercial property developer/landlord with similar institutional quality, though more concentrated geographically and dominated by offices and logistics in southern Sweden.
• SBB i Norden AB (Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget): Sweden's largest owner of community service properties. Comparable given overlapping Swedish property development and large-scale land management profile; distinctive relevance as Arlandastad's second-largest shareholder (20.0%), making it both strategic peer and direct investor in the platform.
• Diös Fastigheter AB: Swedish commercial real estate company focused on growth cities outside Stockholm. Comparable as a Swedish commercial developer/landlord pursuing urbanization-driven property strategies, though more regional and weighted to existing urban centers rather than greenfield destination development.
• Fabege AB: One of Sweden's leading office property companies focused on Stockholm. Comparable as a Swedish commercial real estate landlord and development platform, though narrower office focus and pure-Stockholm geography differ from Arlandastad's broader commercial and destination mix.
• Atrium Ljungberg AB: Swedish commercial real estate company with focus on retail, office and urban development in growth regions. Comparable as a Swedish commercial property developer with diversified tenant base and value-add redevelopment program, though with different geography and asset mix.

Emerging players

• Stenhus Fastigheter AB: Swedish commercial real estate company with a mixed portfolio across industrial, office, and logistics assets. Comparable as a Swedish property developer/landlord with overlap in commercial and logistics segments, though at smaller scale and without Arlandastad's airport destination positioning.
