What Residences does

Säterbostäder AB is a municipally owned Swedish housing company (kommunalt bostadsbolag) headquartered in Säter, Dalarna, and wholly owned by Säter Municipality. The company owns and manages an estimated 500+ rental apartments across approximately 30 residential areas spanning the towns of Säter, Gustafs, and Stora Skedvi, plus four service houses / elderly care facilities and a small portfolio of commercial premises (lokaler). The housing mix runs from historic wooden buildings in the preserved old town of Säter to modern new builds, including specialised offerings such as the LSS group home at Kvarteret Odalmannen (6 apartments, completed September 2024) and allergy-adapted units. The municipal ownership structure, combined with membership in Allmännyttans Klimatinitiativ (fossil-free by 2030; 30% energy reduction by 2030 versus 2007), frames the company as a public-mandate operator rather than a commercial landlord.

The operating platform is built around "Mina sidor" (My Pages), a self-service digital tenant portal authenticated via Sweden's BankID, through which residents apply for apartments, pay rent, submit maintenance tickets, and access 24/7 customer-service information. The property stack is increasingly instrumented: Kvarteret Liljan offers EV charging, Kvarteret Odalmannen runs on solar panels with a ground-source heat pump, and every apartment is connected to Dala Energi / Kurbit fiber for internet, IP-telephony, and bundled cable TV (Sappa). Day-to-day operations are delivered from a newly built ~800 sqm headquarters along Route 70, completed October 2023, which consolidated staff previously split across three locations. Tenant support is supplemented by outsourced services — Securitas for the Störningsjour disturbance patrol and Aimo Park for parking enforcement.

Säterbostäder generates substantially all revenue from recurring residential rent, supplemented by commercial-let income and rents from elderly care premises. Rents are negotiated annually with Hyresgästföreningen (Swedish Tenants' Association), with a 3.5% general increase agreed from 1 January 2026; typical rent bundles heat, water, waste collection, and stairwell cleaning, with household electricity as a separate tenant cost. Allocation is direct-to-consumer through a municipal housing queue administered via Mina sidor — there are no resellers or intermediaries. The company employs 11-50 people, is governed by a municipal board (currently chaired by Torbjörn Orr) with Kenneth Berggren as VD/CEO, and publishes an Affärsplan covering 2025-2029 alongside environmental, sponsorship, and rental policies on its website.
