EU Business News- Q1 2024 Real Estate Investment CEO of the Year 2024 (Sweden): David Dahlgren The real estate industry is one that, in recent years, has faced headwinds that require in-depth knowledge, experience and business acumen in order to flourish. To do so, however, one must learn from those who have already cultivated success on an insurmountable scale – through their stories, you may find the inspiration you need to take that first step. Enter the fascinating tale of David Dahlgren of Gladsheim Fastigheter, whose extensive experience enabled the creation of one of Sweden’s most dynamic real estate landlords to date. Below, we explore his journey toward fostering something meaningful, and how the example he’s set is sure to inspire the industry’s future leaders. Known in Sweden as a flexible real estate landlord whose specialisation in residential properties has consistently honoured the needs of tenants, Gladsheim Fastigheter is an exemplary entity that revels in creating meaningful, long-lasting solutions. Primarily focused on securing highquality living spaces that are suited to the various requirements of its tenants, the company has devised three categories of apartments with varying levels of affordability. Aptly named LiveWell, LiveBetter, and Guarantee, these three alternatives serve tenants across the spectrum – from young professionals to retirees. Regardless of the tenant, Gladsheim Fastigheter promises to find them a space that’s best suited to their circumstances. For instance, if a tenant is in need of a comfortable space at a lower price point, the company’s LiveWell apartments provide access to slightly older standard areas that are ideal for individuals and families. However, if one finds themselves wanting to upgrade their amenities, then LiveBetter may be their optimal choice. And, finally, should a client be seeking out a newly renovated apartment enriched with contemporary interiors, they can opt to pursue one of Gladsheim Fastigheter’s Guarantee apartments. Though it may seem like a somewhat straightforward framework, it’s an ingenious one that isn’t often seen across the industry. And who else could be to thank for it, if not the brilliant, award-winning David Dahlgren? As Founder and CEO of Gladsheim Fastigheter, David knew he wanted to empower the real estate market in his own way, and he therefore harnessed his extensive experience in the trade to cultivate a conduit through which Sweden’s tenants could finally find the perfect apartment for them. Initially, David began his career in investment banking, wherein he took on the role as an economist just as we were entering into the 2000s. Following this, in 2003, he made the transition into real estate – a venture that began with Aberdeen Asset Management, continued onto Kenmore Property Group in 2006, and embarked on its true upward trajectory in 2014 when he onboarded the responsibility of becoming Amasten PLC’s CEO. Only a small PLC at the time, the collective grew from strength to strength under David’s watch, until he finally moved on from the role in late 2017. At this point, David knew he had all of the necessary tools to develop what the industry needed, and it was at this point that he created his multi-family residential company - Gladsheim Fastigheter. Taking full advantage of the skills he had accumulated throughout the years, David brought a different, more disruptive mentality to the residential sector, allowing him to cultivate foundations for brilliance that, in time, would eventually house the Gladsheim Fastigheter. Namely, these pillars consisted of David’s pedigree from Amasten, fully integrated insourced operations, a clear renovation strategy with inhouse teams, an integrated ESG strategy, and a refined accounting and financial reporting practise. Combined, these crucial elements formed the very bedrock of Gladsheim Fastigheter itself. Concerned with the wellbeing of tenants and stakeholders alike, David Dahlgren is a man who had a vision, and was determined to go above and beyond to realise it. Now, as CEO of Gladsheim Fastigheter, he has introduced Sweden to a collective that thrives when rethinking residential management in a new ESG and inflationary environment. It’s this dedication that has earned David the attention of EU Business News, with his inclusion in the European CEO of the Year Awards 2024 marking the next milestone in his CEO journey. We hope his influence continues to elevate the real estate sphere in the years to come.
