Fastighetskontoret, Stockholms stad

Fastighetskontoret, Stockholms stad (the Real Estate Administration of the City of Stockholm) is a specialised municipal administration (fackförvaltning) within the City of Stockholm. Such administrations handle functions that are common to the whole city. Its core mission is to manage, care for and develop properties owned by the city, including commercial premises, market halls and wholesale trade areas. The administration also manages the city's sports facilities, which it took over in 2011, and it conducts active forestry and leases land for hunting. Until the end of 2019 it also allocated market square pitches on the city's 40 squares. The portfolio is substantial: Fastighetskontoret manages roughly 1,800 buildings spread across about 740 properties. Of these, 325 properties lie within the City of Stockholm and the remainder outside the municipal boundary, where the land area amounts to 10,000 hectares. Some properties and buildings are owned so that the city retains control over an area, for example for residents' outdoor recreation or for future development. The administration is led by a real-estate director (fastighetsdirektör) and, as of 2024, has around 170 employees. It is organised into a staff function and four departments: the Property Department, Business Support, the Finance Department and the Project Department. Politically, the real-estate committee (fastighetsnämnden) is responsible; as of 2024 Clara Lindblom (V) is the borgarråd with responsibility for, among other things, the real-estate committee. Fastighetskontoret is not a commercial company but a public-sector property manager. Its "customers" are the city's residents, businesses and visitors, and the properties it manages include landmark buildings such as Stadshuset (Stockholm City Hall), Kulturhuset, Börshuset and Liljevalchs+. It also arranges public events, for example guided tours during the Open House Stockholm architecture festival, and it manages construction projects such as the new restaurant and grill kiosk buildings at Östermalmstorg.

Fastighetskontoret is a specialised municipal administration (fackförvaltning) within the City of Stockholm. Such administrations are responsible for functions that are common to the entire city. The office's task is to manage properties owned by the city, including commercial premises, market halls and wholesale trade areas. Historically, it also allocated market square pitches on the city's 40 squares, a responsibility it held until the end of 2019. The administration has long had its own building department (husbyggnadsavdelning), which for many years was led by the architect Carl Melin. Over time the portfolio has grown to approximately 1,800 buildings distributed across about 740 properties. Of these, 325 properties are within the City of Stockholm and the others lie outside the municipal boundary, where the land area is 10,000 hectares. Some properties and buildings are owned so that the city retains control over an area, for example for residents' outdoor recreation or for future development. Since 2011, Fastighetskontoret has also taken over the management of the city's sports facilities. The office is led by a real-estate director (fastighetsdirektör). The list of directors includes Carl Meurling (1919–1924), Nils Hasselquist (1923–1933), Axel Dahlberg (1933–1945), Jarl Berg (1945–1954), Torsten Ljungberger (1954–1962), Folke Lundin (1962–1964), Åke Hedtjärn (acting, 1964), Lars-Olov Larsson (1964–?, still in post in 1972), Sven Hansson (1974–1982), Göran Långsved (1982–1988), Börje Berglund (1988–1996), Ulrika Francke (1996–1999), Olle Zetterberg (2000–2005), Sten Wetterblad (2005–2008), Torbjörn Johansson (2008–2010), Juan Copovi-Mena (2011–2015), Åsa Öttenius (2015–2020) and Anders Kindberg (2020–). As of 2024, the administration has around 170 employees and is organised into a staff function and four departments: the Property Department, Business Support, the Finance Department and the Project Department. Politically, the real-estate committee (fastighetsnämnden) is responsible; as of 2024 Clara Lindblom (V) is the borgarråd with responsibility for, among other things, the real-estate committee.
