Magnus Andersson, VD Aros Bostad:

”To summarize, 2021 delivered the best operating profit in the history of Aros Bostad, corresponding to a 42% increase, as a result of strong sales, dedicated work to increase the number of project starts and more projects within our own balance sheet. Based on the fact that we have a large building rights portfolio with good initial values, a well-tuned organisation and a large number of new projects waiting to get started, I really look forward to the continued growth journey.”
