EQT Sells Major Residential Development in Stockholm
EQT Real Estate has advanced its exit from a major residential development in Flemingsberg, Greater Stockholm, through a transaction involving 805 rental apartments.
The investment firm has completed the sale of 417 rental homes to Acer Bostad and agreed to sell another 388 apartments that are still under construction.
The development has a total lettable area of approximately 27,500 square meters. The remaining apartments are expected to be completed in 2027, meaning the transaction covers both completed homes and housing still being delivered.
The sale marks the next stage of EQT Real Estate’s investment in the project, which was developed to meet demand for rental housing in a growing part of southern Stockholm.
Acer Bostad Expands Its Stockholm Portfolio
Acer Bostad is acquiring the development as part of its strategy to expand its residential property holdings across Greater Stockholm.
The company is a collaboration between local partner Gordion Capital and global investor Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. Once the transaction is completed, Acer Bostad is expected to own approximately 2,400 apartments across Greater Stockholm, including properties under construction.
The acquisition strengthens Acer Bostad’s position in the regional rental housing market and adds a large development situated near education, healthcare and research institutions.
Financial terms for the latest sale were not disclosed in the announcement.
Flemingsberg Attracts Residential Investment
The property is located within Campus Flemingsberg, a district that combines education, healthcare, research and transport connections.
The wider area is home to approximately 27,000 students and includes institutions such as Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Södertörn University.
Its concentration of universities and research facilities creates demand for housing from students, researchers and young professionals. The district is also expanding through new homes, workplaces and transport infrastructure.
The development is positioned to serve this population through purpose-built rental accommodation in an area with established educational and employment centres.

EQT’s Investment and Development Strategy
EQT Real Estate initially invested in the project in 2024 and expanded its commitment in 2025. Swedish residential developer ByggVesta worked alongside EQT as project manager to advance construction and delivery.
The project reflects EQT’s broader residential investment strategy, which focuses on high-quality rental housing in urban locations supported by long-term demand.
The development has progressed from early construction to the completion and leasing of its first apartments. Strong leasing uptake across completed homes has supported the transition to the next ownership phase.
The wider project also includes sustainability features such as energy-efficient design, with the development intended to provide modern rental housing in a growing urban district.
Remaining Homes Expected in 2027
Although the sale of 417 homes has been completed, the other 388 apartments remain under construction and are expected to be delivered in 2027.
This distinction is important because the full development is not yet complete. Its final delivery will depend on the progress of the remaining construction work.
For Acer Bostad, the acquisition adds exposure to both operating rental homes and apartments still moving through development. For EQT Real Estate, it represents the next step in realising value from a project developed over several years.
The transaction also highlights the role of specialist residential investors in financing and delivering rental housing in growing European urban markets.
Outlook
The sale of the Flemingsberg development highlights continued investment in rental housing around major education, healthcare and research centres in Greater Stockholm. As demand for accommodation grows around universities, hospitals and employment hubs, purpose-built rental developments are becoming an important part of the region’s residential property market.
Acer Bostad gains a substantial residential project in Greater Stockholm, strengthening its portfolio while securing exposure to both completed rental homes and apartments still under construction. Meanwhile, EQT Real Estate moves forward with its exit after investing in the development from 2024, reflecting its strategy of developing residential assets and realising value as projects mature.
The next milestone will be the completion of the remaining 388 apartments in 2027. Their delivery will bring the full 805-home development to completion, increasing the availability of modern rental accommodation in Flemingsberg. The project’s location near major universities, healthcare facilities and research institutions could also support continued tenant demand as the district develops further.
