About Quartiers Properties and our projects
About us Quartiers Properties in Brief
Quartiers Properties is a Swedish-owned real estate development company listed on Nasdaq First North in Stockholm. The company’s business is geographically focused on Spain. Quartiers mainly invests in properties aimed at an affluent international target group.
Quartiers is the only publicly listed property company in Sweden whose entire business is geographically focused on Spain. The company is active in two main segments: property development and operator activities.
The company draws on its Nordic background, with expertise in design and customer service that generates value in its property portfolio. Its products are created with a focus on a discerning Scandinavian target group. This helps to ensure the high quality of the company’s projects, as well as an attractiveness that also appeals to numerous nationalities, including the local Spanish population.
In property development, the company invests in property projects in the premium segment. The company aims to maintain a well-balanced project portfolio with a continual return and cash flows in the form of realised sales.
Operator activities, which consist of hotel and restaurant management, generate current revenue while contributing to the creation of value in those of the company’s projects in which operational management is an important part of property development. For example, the Boho Club concept, which the company created, is already in use at one of the company’s properties and is contributing to improved net operating income, resulting in increases in value. The company intends to replicate this model at more properties.
