-newly signed leases (excluding renewals) total c. 200,000 sqm year-to-date – an increase of c. 60% year on year
Stockholm, Sweden – Mileway, Europe’s leading last mile logistics real estate company, has experienced strong levels of leasing activity across its Swedish portfolio in 2025, with newly signed lease agreements totalling c. 200,000 sqm year-to-date*.
With new leases concentrated across Sweden’s prime logistics corridors – Greater Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg – businesses are taking advantage of the strategic value of well-located, modern and energy-efficient space. Proximity to end consumers is increasingly viewed as a critical competitive advantage.
Leasing momentum is increasingly being fuelled by non-3PL occupiers, highlighting the cross-sector relevance of well-located and high quality last-mile space.
The key drivers of 2025 leasing activity include:
-Strategic location: companies are increasingly prioritising logistics space that shortens transit times, enhances supply-chain resilience and supports a stronger competitive position.
-Sustainability & operational efficiency: energy-efficient features – such as LED lighting, upgraded ventilation systems and EV charging infrastructure – remain major decision-drivers for businesses seeking to align growth with sustainability commitments.
-Flexibility & scalability: increasing demand for flexible space solutions that enable businesses to adapt to evolving operational and market needs, and scale effectively.
Mileway’s Sweden portfolio spans Greater Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and their surrounding regions, providing access to key urban and population centres.
“As the leading gateway to urban markets in Sweden and across Europe, our portfolio of last mile logistics real estate is designed to help businesses accelerate delivery times, optimise operations and scale. Our leasing activity in 2025 has been robust and reflects both our deep local market expertise and a resilient, future-ready portfolio built to support our customers for the long-term,” said Jacob Goldmann, Mileway Country Director Sweden.
With falling inflation and an improvement in real wages in Sweden, consumer demand is expected to increase into 2026**, signalling a sustained demand for last mile logistics real estate in strategic urban nodes.
