Egnahemsbolaget, formally Göteborgs Egnahems AB, is a municipally owned housing company based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and part of the Framtiden Group, which belongs to the City of Gothenburg. 4 Its roots date to 1933, when the city established Småstugebyrån to make small houses available to a wider public. 24
The company develops, builds and sells homes, including houses with freehold ownership and tenant-owned apartments. 3 Its work is concentrated in Gothenburg, with a stated focus on neighbourhoods where rental housing is the dominant tenure, adding opportunities for residents to buy homes in those areas. 39 The company also has property-management activities; it previously provided consultancy services.
Egnahemsbolaget reports that it has built more than 10,000 homes across Gothenburg since its founding. 24 Its remit is local rather than national: the company’s own description places its building activity throughout Gothenburg, and its parent group identifies it as a city company. 46 Erik Windt-Wallenberg is listed as the company’s chief executive. 411
