The prime rent applies to the best space in the CBD, and most leases are signed below it. Svefa's levels include heating and exclude property tax, so they are not measured the same way as Cushman & Wakefield's net rents.

The Gothenburg office market at a glance
Old town, station area, waterfront
Central Gothenburg offers offices in older stone buildings around Nordstaden and Inom Vallgraven, while the area around the central station and Gullbergsvass is growing with new office buildings. On the north bank of the river lies Lindholmen, an innovation district where around 400 companies bring some 30,000 people together every day.
Plenty of empty space in the CBD
According to Svefa, more than 100,000 square metres of offices stand empty in the CBD alone, and the combined project volume in Gothenburg and Mölndal is more than the market can absorb in the short term. For you as a tenant, that means more options to choose from and a strong position when terms are negotiated.
Pick a location for daily life
With the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers in the city, the deciding factor is often being close to students, customers and public transport. Think about where your people live and how much the address matters. You can name several areas in your request, such as the city centre, Lindholmen and Mölndal, and Shace compares them for you.
