Bathroom Renovation in Östermalm

Renovations are currently underway, primarily in the bathrooms in Östermalm. We previously assessed the need and concluded that the bathrooms needed to be renovated, but that the plumbing did not need to be replaced. The work is scheduled to take place in phases during 2025 and 2026.

Bathroom

• Renovation of the shower room's surfaces—you'll get new flooring and new tile on the walls.
• New toilet and new sink.
• New bathroom cabinet with a 220-volt electrical outlet.
• New shower solution—and what each apartment will end up with depends on the current layout. If you have shower walls, a shower enclosure, and/or a washing machine installed by us, we’ll install shower walls with a corner entry. If you have a shower curtain rod, we’ll install a new one, and if you have a bathtub, we’ll remove it and replace it with a shower curtain rod. The bathtub can be reinstalled upon request.

Kitchen

• new sink lighting
• New ceiling lights in some apartments

Hall

• Install a ground fault circuit interrupter in the electrical panel.

Compensation

Since the tenant cannot use their apartment as usual during the renovation, they will receive compensation. We will deduct 50 percent from the base rent the month after the work is completed. The amount has been negotiated with the Tenants’ Association and is intended, among other things, to compensate for disruptions and reduced use of the apartment. It also covers electricity consumption and additional cleaning beyond the contractor’s final cleaning.

Rent Increase After Completion of Work

According to our agreement with the Tenants’ Association dated September 9, 2024, the rent per apartment will increase by 60 SEK per month as a result of the renovation. The increase will take effect once the work in the apartment is completed. This amount covers the renovation of the shower room, including electrical work in the kitchen and hallway.

No replacement of apartment doors

We asked our tenants if they would like us to replace their apartment doors. Since fewer than half responded in the affirmative, we will not be carrying out that part of the project. Consequently, there will be no further rent increase beyond the negotiated 60 kronor associated with the renovation.

Renovation of the communal kitchen and common areas at Plutonen

In 2025, we will begin renovating the communal kitchens and common areas at Norra Trängallén 2. We want to encourage our tenants to use the common areas while ensuring the property remains well-maintained. The communal kitchens will receive, among other things, new carpeting, painted walls, new range hoods, new cabinet doors, handles, countertops, new lighting, and more. We will also replace the carpeting and paint the walls in the stairwells, entrance, and hallways, as well as install new lighting.

Elevator Replacement at Kurorten

We will be replacing the elevators at Kurortsvägen 12–18, starting in the fall of 2026. The work will affect you as a tenant in various ways during the weeks when work is scheduled for your building.

Here's how the elevator replacement will affect you as a tenant:

• Kurortsvägen 12, 14, and 16: The elevator will be out of service for about nine weeks.
• Kurortsvägen 18: Only one elevator will be available for approximately 15 weeks.
• Noise: The work generates disruptive noise. Working hours are on weekdays from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• On-site technicians: Hisstjänst in Skaraborg is performing the work.
• It's messy in the stairwell.

If you live at Kurortsvägen 10, you will not be affected by the work.

Schedule for Elevator Replacements

Your elevator is expected to be out of service:

• Kurortsvägen 18:
  o Left elevator: Weeks 37–51, 2026
  o Right elevator: Weeks 2–16, 2027
• Kurortsvägen 16: Weeks 12–20, 2027
• Kurortsvägen 14: Weeks 36–44, 2027
• Kurortsvägen 12: Weeks 41–49, 2027

Plan your move and, if possible, avoid moving during the period when your building does not have an elevator.

Needs to be replaced

Elevators wear out over time and need to be replaced at regular intervals. We are replacing the elevators at Kurorten so that we will have well-maintained elevators that will continue to function for many years to come.
