What Framtiden Byggutveckling does

Framtiden Byggutveckling AB is a municipal housing development company founded in 2016 and wholly owned by the City of Gothenburg through Förvaltnings AB Framtiden, sitting within Framtidenkoncernen — Sweden's largest public housing provider managing approximately 75,700 apartments across ~1,300 group employees. The company's function is to initiate, develop, and construct new rental housing throughout Gothenburg and transfer completed projects to sister companies (Poseidon, Bostadsbolaget, Familjebostäder, Egnahemsbolaget) for ownership and property management. It does not retain or operate completed assets; its go-to-market is driven by public mandate, inter-company offtake, and competitive procurement of construction contractors (totalentreprenad i samveraden) under the broader Gothenburg municipal housing target of 2,300 completed homes per year from 2025.

The core technical proposition is climate-reduced and circular construction. The company operates a proprietary Klimatbudget methodology — built on climate declarations for ten completed projects with a ~400 kg CO2e/m2 BTA baseline — and a Klimatpilot CO200 procurement framework that caps contractor emissions at 200 kg CO2e/m2 BTA. It has executed two flagship projects that anchor this strategy: Kvarteret Omställningen (63 apartments, 57% climate-impact reduction using timber framing with Derome and contractor Tm2) and Kvarteret Återbruket (~66 apartments, large-scale reuse of ~3,000 m2 of concrete hollow-core slabs from the demolished IKEA Kållered, glulam beams from Isdala ice rink, and other structural elements, validated by RISE quality testing). A new Marknära bostadskoncept of ground-level housing (row houses, "fyrbohus") was launched in March 2025.

Revenue is project-based: development fees plus cost recovery via transfer of completed assets to the koncern's property management companies, funded by Göteborgs Stad's municipal housing budget. Rents are set below market rate to support affordable housing. The company has ~40 staff and a forward pipeline that includes ~550 units along Litteraturgatan in Selma stad, ~450 at Säterigatan in Sannegården, 249 at Härlanda Tjärn, 175 at Danaplatsen, 160 at Östra Källtorp, and 126 at Masthuggskajen G1b, with completions scheduled between 2025 and 2028. Recognition includes Årets Bygge 2026 (Byggindustrin, residential category), Årets Uppstickare 2026 (Handslaget för cirkulärt byggande / Business Region Göteborg), and the Environmental Prize at Betonggalan 2025.
