Direct peers

• Riksbyggen: Swedish cooperative federation developing and managing member-owned housing across Sweden. Comparable to SKB through cooperative governance structure, in-house property development, and rental-to-member offerings.
• Stockholmshem: Stockholm municipal housing company owning and renting residential units in the same metro market. Directly comparable as a large-scale Stockholm residential landlord, though publicly owned rather than cooperative.
• Svenska Bostäder: City of Stockholm-owned residential property company operating in the same metro area. Comparable in scale and geography as a major Stockholm rental housing provider with direct in-house management.
• Familjebostäder: Stockholm municipal housing company managing rental apartments in the same city. Comparable to SKB as a Stockholm-based residential landlord with direct property management and a focus on broad rental access.
• HSB (Hyresgästernas Sparkasse- och Byggnadsförening): Sweden's largest cooperative housing association with a closely analogous member-owned rental/condominium model. HSB and SKB share cooperative governance, member queue systems, and self-managed property portfolios, making them the most direct peer.

Broad incumbents

• Wallenstam: Swedish property company focused on residential and commercial properties, primarily in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Comparable as a Stockholm residential landlord with in-house development, though profit-driven rather than cooperative.
• Heimstaden: One of Europe's largest residential property owners with significant Swedish exposure. Comparable to SKB as a major residential landlord, though operating commercially across multiple European countries rather than as a single-metro cooperative.
• Willhem: Swedish residential property company owned by AP Fastigheter, holding rental apartments across Swedish growth regions. Comparable as a Swedish residential landlord, though commercial in orientation and geographically broader than SKB's Stockholm focus.
• Sveafastigheter: Swedish residential property owner/developer active in Stockholm and other growth regions. Comparable as a residential landlord with active development pipeline, though smaller and commercially oriented compared to SKB's cooperative scale.
• Akelius Residential Property: Swedish-domiciled residential property company with prime-city apartment portfolios. Comparable in residential asset class and Stockholm exposure, but operates as a commercial investor rather than a member cooperative.
