Kungsleden has signed a new lease with anchor tenants Systembolaget and Hemköp at the Gallerian mall in Eskilstuna (including the properties Vårblomman 8 and 11, and Visheten 14 and 15). The newly signed leases ensure that the modernization of the mall goes into the implementation stage.
The mall in Eskilstuna is centrally located adjacent to the recently refurbished Kungsgatan and Fristadstorget. The property consists of a ground floor with commercial space, an upper level with office space and a gym, and a basement with a parking garage and bowling center. The ongoing development project covers the retail areas on the ground floor and aims to create a more modern and attractive shopping environment.
The renewed agreement with Systembolaget includes over 800 m², which they will have access to at the end of 2017. The Hemköp agreement covers 2,600 m², which will be ready at the beginning of 2018.
Kungsleden now has five projects in the implementation phase, with a total approved investment of approximately €101.4m (975m SEK)
Marcus Lundh, Asset Manager at Kungsleden said:“We are very pleased to offer new spaces to our anchor tenants Systembolaget and Hemköp. We have now also begun the process of creating an appealing mix of shops for the other retail spaces in the mall”
Thomas Gäreskog, CEO Hemköp said:“We will be able to implement our new modern store concept at the mall, which is very positive. Hemköp’s customers are active and engaged, and our vision is to be the most popular supermarket. To achieve this, we offer a high proportion of fresh products, inspiring and modern stores, and a broad, affordable and sustainable product range”
Ronny Fredrixon, Systembolaget said:“We are looking forward to moving into our new modern premises at the mall. The cooperation with Kungsleden has gone very well and we follow the project with great excitement”
