Hans Wallenstam's view of the residential market

Sweden Sweden — Plus article Since Hans Wallenstam took over as CEO of Wallenstam in 1991, the residential segment has experienced both soaring highs and deep lows. During the peak of housing construction, there was a shortage of homes in every city. Today, construction sites stand still in many locations. Yet, in his in-depth interview with Nordic Property News, Wallenstam’s CEO and principal owner describes a market that is beginning to stabilize. And while not everything is as it once was, some truths remain constant:<br /> “Urbanization in Sweden continues. Although not at the same pace as before, there will still be demand for new housing in attractive locations,” says Hans Wallenstam.
