Our history

The foundation for Arlandastad Group AB and our future was created in 2005, when our main owner Gelba, with Per Taube at the helm, bought an outlet from a bankruptcy estate in Arlandastad. Per Taube, a well-established entrepreneur in the real estate industry, saw great potential in the area.

Several major players who had initially been involved in an attempt to create an airport city in the area chose to sell off land close to the airport to Per Taube and the newly started company Arlandastad Holding.

Per Taube had a clear vision for Arlandastad, the area around Sweden's largest airport. He began to buy up strategic land around the airport, with a long-term plan to develop a business area for different businesses that could benefit from operating in the same location and creating synergies. The company acquired more than 200 hectares of contiguous land around the airport between 2005 and 2015 and the dream of developing an urban meeting place began to become a reality. An innovative and forward-thinking company took shape and began to emerge.

Thinking even bigger

A then relatively small, young and privately owned property development company developed and refined land, while the company itself created modern history when it was involved in developing Sweden's first airport city. The company strove to create places for activities, meetings and collaboration. The concept was creative and innovative. More players understood the opportunities that this entailed, new projects were started in the area and the properties began to be filled with exciting businesses where the tenants became the company's most important partners.

Important milestones for the company

In 2021, the company changes its name from Arlandastad Holding to Arlandastad Group AB, with the ambition to broaden and expand the business to more geographies. The original operations of the company, which are focused in the area around Arlandastad, will continue under the name Arlandastad, a part of Arlandastad Group AB. Fifteen years after the acquisition of a bankrupt outlet, the idea of creating a dynamic meeting place in one of Sweden's largest growth regions has become a reality.

In 2022, the company took its first step in expanding operations and broadening the project portfolio to more geographies through the acquisition of Skavsta, including Stockholm Skavsta Airport. An area of about 500 hectares. Land with great development potential. The area around the airport is now being developed through the name Skavsta. Through Arlandastad Group, the conditions are created to think even bigger for long-term development and refinement of attractive land with great potential.
