What Development Partner does

Development Partner 09 AB is a privately held Swedish property development and project management consultancy headquartered in Gothenburg (Kyrkogatan 4), founded in 2009. The firm operates with a staff of twelve and provides end-to-end services across the real estate development value chain — covering scouting, due diligence, market analysis, investment appraisal, schematic design studies, planning and zoning phase support, project management from land acquisition through occupancy, infrastructure coordination, property law and surveying, and tenant consulting. Its primary customer segments are property developers, municipalities, construction companies, and housing cooperatives (notably HSB), with secondary work for institutional investors and pension funds such as PFA Bostad.

Delivery is structured around six service offerings (Fastighetsutveckling, Planskedet, Projektledning, Infrastruktur, Fastighetsjuridik och lantmäteri, Hyresgästrådgivning) delivered under four engagement roles: project visionary, project lead, project manager, and consulting advisor. The firm differentiates through proprietary planning methodologies — DP Backcasting, DP Stakeholder Dialogue, and the Three Questions Methodology — applied to complex multi-party urban development projects. Notable outcomes include coordination of the Södra Änggården district (~1,900 apartments) for Platzer, project management for Jernhusen's Gothenburg Central Station development, and Haga Village (~550–600 units) in Mölnlycke.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees billed to enterprise clients, supplemented by equity participation in joint ventures (e.g., Sjöporten in Mariestad, Backadalen on Hisingen, Varberg Västerport, Haga By, and the divested ICA Maxi Sydport Mariestad JV sold to Prisma Properties AB in February 2026). Ownership is concentrated among the four principal founders/part-owners — Martin Anderberg, Mikael Fjällglim, Yngve Karlsson, and other co-workers — with all employees eligible to become part-owners. Geographic concentration is Western Sweden (Gothenburg and adjacent municipalities), with limited but expanding reach into Halland and adjacent markets.
