What Tenant & Partner does

Tenant & Partner is a Swedish workplace development consultancy headquartered in Stockholm with a secondary office in Gothenburg, founded around 1994 and operating as part of the Worklife Group ecosystem. The firm is exclusively tenant-side — explicitly positioning itself as the loyal representative of commercial tenants and never representing landlords — and serves more than 2,000 customers across 7,000+ completed projects spanning enterprise, government, and trade association clients (Investor, EQT, TD SYNNEX, ICA, Skolverket, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Kretslopp och vatten). Its service portfolio comprises seven core offerings: tenant representation (Kontor och lokaler), relocation and establishment management, workplace strategy and change management, tenancy and property law, contract management, facility management advisory, and AI-enhanced meeting rooms (the Yggdrasil Workplace Lab). Delivery is via direct, relationship-driven B2B consulting engagements by a multidisciplinary team of property economists, lawyers, civil engineers, project managers, and change leaders; pricing is custom quote-based for advisory and unit-priced for training (e.g., SEK 5,995 per participant for tenant-rights training), with freemium Morning Boost webinars used as a top-of-funnel marketing channel.

The company's underlying methodology is its registered 'Performing Workplaces®' framework, integrating human, economic and planetary sustainability into workplace strategy. In 2025 it launched Yggdrasil Workplace Lab, a Vinnova-funded innovation initiative co-developed with AI startup River and Stora Enso that combines AI dialogue facilitation ('voice of the forest') with biophilic design and circular interior concepts. The firm has held 'Legends' status with Great Place to Work for 10+ consecutive years, achieved Fitwel certification (2 of 3 stars) and the 'Best in Building Health 2020' award for its Stockholm office, and in 2018 transitioned fully to a flat network organization structure. Leadership is split between Co-CEOs Jesper Trotzig and Ellen Friedman (appointed 2024), with Kati Barklund serving as IFMA Sweden Chair and 2025 IFMA Top Global FM Influencer.

Tenant & Partner is a Swedish workplace development consultancy that acts as the loyal representative for commercial tenants in all matters relating to offices and premises. The firm delivers integrated advisory services spanning tenant representation, lease and property law, relocation and establishment project management, workplace strategy and change management, facility management advisory, contract/lease management, and AI-enhanced meeting room design. Services are delivered through direct, project-based consulting engagements by a multidisciplinary team of property economists, lawyers, civil engineers, project managers, communicators, and change leaders.

Their core portfolio consists of seven distinct service offerings: (1) Kontor och lokaler - tenant representation for office premises; (2) Kontorsflytt och etablering - relocation and establishment management; (3) Arbetsplatsstrategi och förändringsledning - workplace strategy and change management; (4) Hyres- och fastighetsjuridik - tenancy and property law advisory; (5) Hyresavtalshantering - contract/lease management; (6) Facility Management - FM advisory; and (7) AI‑förstärkta mötesrum - AI-enhanced meeting rooms as their most innovative offering.

Direct peers

• Newsec: Leading Nordic real estate advisory firm with strong tenant representation and workplace advisory practices in Sweden. The most direct like-for-like competitor for office occupier mandates in the Stockholm market.
• Croisette Real Estate Partner: Swedish commercial real estate advisory focused on tenant representation and office leasing in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Closest head-to-head competitor to T&P on local tenant mandates.

Broad incumbents

• Cushman & Wakefield: Global real estate services firm with occupier services including tenant representation and workplace strategy across the Nordics. Overlaps directly with T&P on corporate occupier mandates but operates globally and serves landlords as well.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with a dedicated occupier/tenant representation practice. Comparable as a large-scale competitor offering tenant advisory across leasing, workplace strategy and project management, though it serves both occupiers and investors.
• Savills: Global real estate advisor with established occupier services in the Nordics, including tenant representation and workplace strategy. Competes for similar enterprise occupier engagements as T&P at a broader scale.
• CBRE Group: Largest global commercial real estate services firm with a strong occupier advisory and workplace practice in Sweden. Competes for the same enterprise occupier mandates as T&P but at significantly larger scale.
• Colliers International: Global real estate advisory with occupier services and a notable Nordic presence. Comparable on office tenant representation and workplace consulting, but operates on both sides of the landlord-tenant table.
• Knight Frank: Global real estate consultancy with commercial leasing and occupier advisory capabilities in the Nordics. Overlaps with T&P's tenant rep and workplace strategy services at a larger international scale.

Regional players

• Locum (Stockholms läns landsting): Swedish public-sector property company providing real estate services for healthcare and public-sector occupiers in the Stockholm region. Comparable as a local specialist in occupier-side property services, though focused on public sector.

Emerging players

• WSP Workplace Advisory: Global engineering consultancy with a workplace strategy and change management practice active in the Nordics. Comparable on the workplace strategy and transformation side of T&P's offering, though workplace is not its core focus.
