Built on Lake Mälaren, Stockholm’s proximity to the open waters of the Baltic Sea and its well-preserved green areas contribute to this. The combination of medieval buildings alongside modern and exciting architecture also contributes to Stockholm’s beauty. The city’s remarkable city structure creates high profile opportunities for company investors – present and future, foreign as well as domestic.

City development: from Hjorthagen to Loudden

Sweden’s largest city district is to be developed in central Stockholm over the coming years. It stretches from Hjorthagen in the north, through the port area, to Loudden in the south. This urban development contains plans for 10,000 new residences and 30,000 new workspaces and can be compared with other European urban development projects, such as those in Copenhagen, Oslo and Hamburg. Planning work started in the early 2000s and the new city district is fully developed around 2025.

The area incorporates three districts; Hjorthagen in the north (seen to the right in the picture above), the ports in the centre, and Loudden in the south (seen to the left).

These areas will be developed to offer a wide variety of jobs, housing, transportation, education, public and commercial services, cultural events and entertainment.
