Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB: Wihlborgs develops integrated 10,200 sqm solution for MilDef Group AB
Wihlborgs has signed an agreement with the defense and security company MilDef to develop a cohesive premises solution comprising the renovation of existing space, the lease of a nearby building, and the construction of a new extension linking the buildings, at Musköten 20 in the Berga area of Helsingborg. This solution will create a functional and efficient whole tailored to Mildef's growing operations. The lease agreement for the entire facility runs until 2039.
MilDef was founded in 1997 in Helsingborg and develops and manufactures robust IT solutions for the defense and security sector. Since the construction of MilDef's current facility in 2020, the company has grown significantly and requires additional space. The new agreement includes the renovation of existing premises totaling 4,370 sqm, the lease of a nearby building of 2,380 sqm, and an extension of 3,470 sqm connecting the buildings. The solution is designed to meet Mildef's current and future needs, while also enhancing the property with flexibility, making it well-suited for other types of operations over time.
All buildings will include office space, while production activities will be concentrated in the newly constructed section. The new building will be certified according to Miljöbyggnad, with the objective of achieving Gold level. In the refurbishment of existing premises, the layout will be changed from individual offices to an open-plan office environment combined with meeting rooms, while interior surfaces will be upgraded.
Occupancy is scheduled for summer 2027.
The total investment amounts to SEK 97 million, including land.
"This is a strategically important investment that will strengthen our delivery capacity, enabling us to further support our customers' needs while continuing to deliver a growth rate in line with MilDef's long-term goals," says Daniel Ljunggren, CEO and Group CEO of MilDef Group.
"We are pleased to contribute to creating a cohesive and attractive environment that supports MilDef's continued development. The project exemplifies how we have been able to meet the customer's needs through various expansion phases and their desire to consolidate the solution within a single site. At the same time, the project contributes to strengthening Berga, where we see clear demand within the light industrial segment," says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.
