New major lease agreements in Uppsala Business Park

Klövern has concluded two new major lease agreements in Uppsala Business Park. Gammadata Mätteknik has signed a ten-year lease and Anticimex a lease for three years. Both companies will establish in the park this year and their annual rents will total SEK 2.2 million.

Gammadata Mätteknik AB, Sweden’s leading laboratory for measuring radon in indoor air and water, will rent 850 sq. m. of office and production space and will move in mid-December 2010. The rent will amount to SEK 1.2 million per year for ten years.

In mid-December the Uppsala office of the service company Anticimex with its staff of almost 40 employees will occupy 610 sq. m. of office space and 200 sq. m. warehouse space in Uppsala Business Park. The rent will total SEK 1.0 million per year over the three years contract.

Klövern’s successful exploitation of Uppsala Business Park continues. The occupancy rate will rise to approximately 75 per cent when all the rental agreements made public to date have been taken up. What was once an area with a single company now houses over 60 enterprises.

“Uppsala Business Park not only attracts Life Science companies but also increasingly computer companies and publicly owned companies,” says Klövern’s CEO Gustaf Hermelin. “This is shown not least by our rental agreements with the well-known companies Anticimex and Gammadata Mätteknik.”

“Uppsala Business Park has a high-tech profile that fits in perfectly with our operations,” says Karl Nisson, CEO at Gammadata Mätteknik.

“Anticimex has experienced sustained growth since 1934 and our business concept is based on providing secure indoor environments. This means that we have great expectations on the companies we cooperate with. Klövern is the property company that has shown greatest understanding of our vision and which also has the capacity to keep up with our future development,” says Joakim Olsson, manager of Anticimex Uppsala.
