What Brinova Fastigheter does

Brinova Fastigheter AB (publ) is a Swedish publicly listed residential property company headquartered in Helsingborg that develops and manages rental apartments, community service properties, and commercial premises across selected cities in southern Sweden with good transport links, including Helsingborg, Kristianstad, Växjö, Malmö, Höör, Eslöv, Hässleholm, Landskrona, and Höganäs. The company operates a direct-to-consumer rental model, leasing residential units (hyresrätter) ranging from studios to 4-room apartments, alongside student housing, senior housing (trygghetsboende), commercial spaces (lokaler), parking, and storage units (förrådshotell/Bolagret). Distribution is handled entirely through the company's own website (brinova.se) and a BankID-authenticated tenant portal ('Mina sidor'), with no third-party brokers involved.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through recurring monthly rental income. Full-year 2025 rental income reached SEK 942.0 million, up 73% year-over-year, with net operating surplus of SEK 627.1 million (up 77%). Monthly rents vary by property and unit size, ranging from approximately SEK 8,600 for one-room apartments up to SEK 17,200 for four-room apartments, with utilities (heating, water, waste, broadband via ConnectTV or Tele2, and basic TV at certain properties) bundled in some units and individually metered (IMD) in others. The property portfolio was valued at SEK 19.1 billion as of full-year 2025, approximately double the prior year following a reverse acquisition transformation with K-Fast Holding AB. The company also runs a new-construction (nyproduktion) development pipeline, with active projects including Skjutskontoret in Malmö (154 units) and Viktoria 22 in Helsingborg (41 units).

Customer segments are concentrated in individual residential tenants — families, professionals, and students — across southern Sweden. Geographic strategy has been actively refined: Brinova divested a 153-unit residential property in Greater Copenhagen to Danish asset manager Formuepleje in April 2026 (DKK 437M) while acquiring 165 apartments in Växjö in March 2026 (SEK 123M). Leadership is in transition, with Peter Ullmark appointed CEO effective June 2026 to succeed Per Johansson, who retires after ten years. Shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (ticker STO:BRIN_B), and the company has initiated the process to also list its Class A shares.
