Wåhlin Fastigheter – an ongoing partnership for a green transition

Since 2018, SBP has worked closely with Wåhlin Fastigheter with the goal of making the property portfolio more energy-efficient and sustainable. What began as individual projects has, over time, evolved into an established partnership, in which SBP is regularly entrusted with delivering energy solutions for both existing properties and new construction projects.

Since its inception, the partnership has resulted in the completion of 29 projects, including both solar power systems and energy storage facilities. The steady stream of projects reflects Wåhlin Fastigheter’s long-term ambition to integrate sustainable energy solutions throughout its portfolio—as well as a strong confidence in SBP as a delivery partner.

An important milestone in Wåhlin Fastigheter’s energy initiatives was reached as part of its collaboration with SBP, when the company chose for the first time to obtain environmental certification for a building in connection with a solar energy project in Ursvik, Sundbyberg.

“This was the first time we decided to go all the way with environmental certification for a building, and it’s truly a testament to us as a company. Investing in sustainable energy has become a given, and a lot has happened just in recent years—now environmental issues are on the agenda for every project,” says Thomas Hörnfeldt, project manager at Wåhlin Fastigheter, about the company’s milestone.

"The key to our collaboration with SBP has been their commitment"

The projects encompass both existing properties and new construction, which places high demands on flexibility, technical expertise, and coordination. For Wåhlin Fastigheter, this means not only functional systems, but also a more efficient project process in which internal resources can be utilized more strategically.

“The key to our collaboration with SBP has been their commitment. It might be something people just say in other contexts, but in this case, it’s absolutely true. SBP’s project manager has been very committed and contacts our contractors directly instead of having me act as an intermediary. In my professional role, that provides incredible peace of mind,” says Thomas Hörnfeldt, continuing:

– Even after the projects are finished, I feel like I don’t have to worry about it anymore because SBP has everything under control.

Sustainable energy: a natural part of our work

SBP describes the collaboration as a clear example of how long-term relationships lead to better results over time.
Alexander Backström, a project manager at SBP, has been responsible for a large portion of the projects and particularly highlights Wåhlin Fastigheter’s commitment:

“Creating more sustainable homes is the future, and that makes it especially exciting that Wåhlin Fastigheter has such high ambitions to let their tenants live in green properties,” he says, continuing:

– I would also like to extend my sincere praise to the staff at Wåhlin Fastigheter, who have consistently demonstrated tireless dedication throughout the entire process, working alongside us from start to finish.

With more than 29 completed projects under its belt, the partnership continues to grow. For Wåhlin Fastigheter, sustainable energy is now a natural part of every project, and SBP is a regular partner in the effort to turn ambition into reality.
