Real Estate Department

The Real Estate Department manages and develops a unique, exciting property portfolio that is important for Stockholm’s residents, businesses and visitors. Our property portfolio includes everything from fire stations to castles, villas and small cottages out in the countryside. We also manage areas of nature and outdoor recreation areas outside the municipal boundary.

The elected representatives on the Real Estate Committee make decisions on how the City should work in this area. The Real Estate Department must then execute the Committee’s decisions.
