CLS HOLDINGS PLC ('CLS')
ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF PLANNING PERMISSION
AT SOLNA BUSINESS PARK
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
Further to the completion of phase I of the refurbishment of Solna Business
Park, the Board of CLS is pleased to announce that on the 13th January 2001
Solna Town approved a new draft of the Town Plan. The amended Town Plan will
enable CLS to continue the extensive refurbishment program that has been
started in phase I.
The works to phase I were allowed to be carried out under an exception to the
Town Plan in advance of its alteration. These works included the addition of a
new floor and the creation of a further 2,237 m2. (24,080 ft2) of net lettable
office accommodation. The property is now fully let, with the majority of the
property let to the Information Technology department of the Swedish Post
Office.
The amended Town Plan, which applies to the entire estate, allows CLS to change
the use of each of the buildings and to construct an additional floor on each of
the buildings. This will result in the total floor area of the estate
being increased by 23,480 m2 (252,726 ft2) to 131,080 m2 (1,410,900 ft2).
The Board is also pleased to announce that on the 31st January 2001 Solna Town
granted planning permission for phase II of the refurbishment programme,
Frasaren 11. In anticipation of receiving this consent, the property has been
stripped internally and is now ready for the refurbishment works to commence.
The planning permission allows CLS to construct an additional floor and will
result in the creation of an additional 8,600 m2 (92,570 ft2) of net
lettable office accommodation. The planning permission also allows for extensive
external refurbishment works to include landscaping of the surrounding area and
the re-cladding of the structure.
CLS has instructed CB Richard Ellis; and Colliers HBV to act as letting
agents for the estate and negotiations have been entered into with various
potential tenants, however, as yet no agreements have been signed.
Phase III of the refurbishment programme, Frasaren 12, win provide 32,678 m2
(351,743 ft2) of office accommodation when complete and it is anticipated
that a detailed planning application will be made later this year.
Executive Chairman, Sten Mortstedt, said;
'We are extremely pleased that Solna Town has amended the Town Plan and
granted planning permission for the extension of Frasaren 11. This
enables us to continue with phase II of the refurbishment programme and
ultimately brings us a step closer to realising our vision of creating a
modern business park at Solna, Stockholm, to rival the best in Sweden. '
