About D. Carnegie & Co

D. Carnegie & Co is a property company focusing on residential properties in the
Greater Stockholm region and other growth areas. The company’s business concept
is to own property portfolios slated for a gradual renovation of apartments in
conjunction with the natural turnover of tenants. This can take place quickly
and cost-efficiently thanks to extensive experience from the Bosystem renovation
method which, among other things, means that no evacuation needs to take place.
In addition to this, the company creates value through the development of
building rights in existing portfolios. The market value of the company’s
properties amounted to SEK15,205 million on 30 June 2016. The total rental value
amounted to SEK 1,349 million annually on 30 June 2016. The economic occupancy
rate is high – vacancies are virtually non-existent. D. Carnegie & Co is listed
on Nasdaq Stockholm.
