Wihlborgs signs lease with FEW in Gängtappen
Gängtappen was constructed in1958 as the head office of Kockumsvarven and the building was closed to the public until Saab Kockums moved out in the summer of 2015. The property has since undergone a complete renovation and in the summer Länsförsäkringar Skåne moved into the top six floors. In January, FEW will vacate its existing premises at Media Evolution City (MEC) and move into Gängtappen – just a few hundred metres away.
“Our company has grown in several phases ever since we were the first tenant to sign a lease for Media Evolution City in 2011. More than 60 people now work at our company and it is a natural step for us to move on. MEC is an exciting hub for innovation in the region and new energy will fill the space vacated by us, while we can ensure our continued growth in one of the most iconic buildings in Malmö,” says Carl Magnus Cronholm, CEO of FEW.
“We are thrilled that FEW wants to continue to grow together with Wihlborgs and sees the advantage of staying in Dockan. The premises in Gängtappen offer an exciting combination of the past, present and future, and can be seen as a symbol of Malmö’s evolution from an industrial to a service-based city,” says Anders Jarl, CEO of Wihlborgs Fastigheter.
