Holy Cross

What Holy Cross does

Holy Cross is a Swedish commercial property developer and operator headquartered in Linköping that builds and develops properties for new companies and companies in transition, trading under the Sankt Kors brand (sanktkors.se). The firm was founded in 1928 and operates as a private, municipally rooted real estate company with 11-50 employees, currently led by CEO Anna-Maria Jakobsson (appointed October 2025).

The company's core product is curated, district-level commercial real estate across seven named Linköping districts: Ebbepark, Cavok District, Mjärdevi, Vallastaden, Linköping city, Vreta Kluster, and Steninge/Stångebro. Underlying offerings include four office-solution tiers — Kontorshotell (office hotel), Nyckelfärdigt kontor (turnkey office), Skräddarsytt kontor (custom-built office), and the Spektrum Cowork & Conference brand (coworking plus professional conference and meeting rooms). Tenant profile in recent public news flow includes growth-stage and SME firms such as Maessing Interiör, Emovia, Fancade, Sparv Embedded, and Redmind, spanning interior design, edtech/media, gaming, embedded systems, and software verticals.

The business model blends long-lease office rentals with higher-velocity, transactional revenue from flexible office-hotel subscriptions, coworking day passes, and conference room bookings; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Holy Cross distributes inventory via its own website (sanktkors.se), on-site hospitality, networking breakfasts, and direct sales through the "Experthjälp" advisory channel, and is positioning itself around a "framtidens arbetsliv" (future of work) narrative, supported by a 2025 place-development handbook addressing social isolation in built environments. The firm is privately held with no identified parent company, public listing, or external funding rounds, and operates exclusively within the Swedish Linköping micro-market.
