"The first quarter has been strong, featuring an increase in income from property management with 9%, thanks to good cost control, efficient property-management work, along with contributions from completed projects. Further, it should be factored in that financial results for this period were only marginally affected by the ongoing Covid-19 crisis," says Henrik Saxborn, CEO, Castellum AB.

"With Covid-19 hovering in the background, future development is difficult to assess, and timing will be everything when considering possible effects on Castellum. I am humble before the fact that our entire society will be affected but feel confident that our stable relationships with our customers and financiers, as well as the commitment and competence of our coworkers, will take us through these adverse times. It's extra gratifying that we can continue to invest in important city development projects, such as E.ON's new headquarters and the Swedish National Courts' major project in Malmö. And we have more government projects on the drawing table," says Saxborn.
