Sweden Investment Market Figures Q1 2026

The Swedish transaction volume in Q1 2026 amounted to approximately SEK 39 billion, which is in line with the transaction volume in Q1 2025. The share of foreign investors stood at 17%, which is below the five‑year average of around 20%. Although interest rates have increased since the outbreak of the war in Iran, the impact on the transaction market – particularly on Q1 activity – remains too early to assess.

The largest transaction during the quarter was Urban Partner’s divestment of 20 logistics properties in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland to the listed company Catena. The transaction also included land with development rights corresponding to approximately 70,000 sqm. The purchase price amounted to SEK 8.80 billion, of which SEK 6.45 billion pertained to assets in Sweden. The second largest transaction was within the Community sector, with Castellum divesting nine justice‑oriented community properties to AP7 for SEK 5.6 billion, located across several major Swedish regions. In the retail segment, the largest transaction in Q1 2026 was Euro commercial’s acquisition of the Avion shopping centre in Umeå from Ingka Centres for SEK 1.2 billion.
