Partnerships
Strategic Construction and Development Partners
Castellum partners with top Nordic builders like Skanska and NCC to deliver large-scale developments and retrofits, outsourcing construction to keep fixed costs flexible; in 2024 these collaborations helped complete projects worth SEK 7.8bn while achieving BREEAM/LEED targets on 84% of developments, cutting lifecycle carbon and leveraging specialist engineering to meet delivery schedules and cost forecasts.
Municipalities and Local Governments
Maintaining ties with city planners in growth regions—Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki—ensures Castellum secures permits and zoning; in 2024 Castellum reported 82 active municipal development projects covering SEK 18.7bn in potential investments. These partnerships let Castellum align its 2025 pipeline with planned infrastructure (metro and tram expansions) and drive commercial-district revitalizations that boosted rental income growth by 4.2% y/y.
Financial Institutions and Bondholders
Castellum secures acquisition and development funding via long-standing ties with Nordic banks and access to international credit markets, holding net debt of SEK 43.8bn and LTV ~40% as of Q4 2025 to manage capital intensity.
The group uses green financing frameworks—about SEK 20bn green bonds issued by 2025—working closely with ESG-focused lenders who supply liquidity and lower margins for sustainable projects.
Sustainability and PropTech Innovators
Castellum partners with PropTech and energy-tech providers to deploy smart building and energy management systems across ~11.6 million sqm of properties, cutting energy use by up to 20% in pilots and lowering portfolio carbon intensity toward its 2030 SBTi-aligned targets.
These alliances deliver real-time automated data for operations, reduce maintenance costs, and keep Castellum at the digital forefront via startup pilots and scalable tech rollouts.
- Portfolio covered: ~11.6 million sqm
- Energy cut in pilots: up to 20%
- Targets: SBTi-aligned 2030 decarbonisation
- Value: lower OPEX, real-time automated data
Facility Management and Service Providers
Castellum outsources specialist maintenance, security and cleaning to external vendors, cutting payroll for non-core tasks and keeping properties at market-leading standards; in 2024 outsourced service spend was about SEK 1.2bn (≈€100m), roughly 8% of operating expenses.
SLAs are tightly monitored with KPI targets (response <48h, tenant satisfaction >90%), preserving high occupancy (average 93% in 2024) and steady rental income.
- Reduces in-house headcount
- SEK 1.2bn outsourced (2024)
