Which year 2022 was.
A market that began at full speed and with a lot of energy, only to take a sharp turn in the spring when war and uncertain interest rates became our new everyday life. This meant completely new challenges and conditions, but we continued to work hard according to our conviction of creating attractive homes in the countryside.
In 2022, we not only completed Smedjebacken with 10 new Tenant-owned homes, we also broke ground on four additional projects. The projects that we started construction of are: brf bullerbyn in Hedemora, brf Söderbergs hage in Söderbärke, brf Lissbrändan in Rättvik and brf Skepparen in Smedjebacken, which together mean 40 new homes.
But that was not enough, despite the challenges of the market, we are looking forward to the 4 new projects corresponding to 40 homes that we launched in 2022 and which will have construction start now in 2023.
Sakofall works to preserve and develop the countryside and when we were informed that the railway master's house in Ludvika was at the end of the road, we saw the opportunity to preserve this old building instead and were pleased to acquire the property and could begin the renovation to preserve the railway master's house.
There have been many initiatives during the year, and we have taken a positive view of future developments even with the prevailing market challenges. To meet this in the best possible way, we employed both a business developer and a new project manager - an investment we have greatly benefited from during the year and look back on as the right way to go.
As a nice end to the year, we finished with new additions to the board of Sakofall Fastigheter, which we are very happy about. But more information about this later.
We are now looking forward to a new year, completing the projects that are in full production and working on the new projects and challenges we will take on in 2023.
To give you a little taste of what's to come, we are also looking at building new production in rental form according to our concept, which feels very exciting!
