Once completed, Solna Link will offer around 36,000m² of space in total.
Skanska said the proximity to Westfield Mall of Scandinavia ensures easy access to additional shops, restaurants, and services.
The company is aiming for the office spaces to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified at the Platinum level. The project also boasts pre-certifications for NollCO2 and WELL Gold.
Construction is scheduled to commence nexr month, with completion of the office building anticipated for the second quarter of 2027.

The development will be situated next to Skanska's previously completed project, Solna United, which was finalised in 2020.
In May 2025, Skanska signed an expansion and renovation contract with Swedish state-owned property company Specialfastigheter Sverige for the Österåker correctional facility, located north of Stockholm.

Real estate investors throw in the towel on hopes for lower 2025 mortgage rates
Topline findings: 79% of single-family investors say they are 'somewhat likely' or 'very likely' to buy at least one property in the next 12 months. That's up from 76% in Q4 2024 and 61% in Q2 2024. 32% of single-family investors say they're likely to sell at least one property in the next 12 months. That's down from 33% in Q4 2024 and 37% in Q2 2024. 57% of single-family investors believe mortgage rates will remain above 6.5% over the next 12 months—up sharply from 29% in Q4 2024 who expected the average 30-year fixed rate to stay above that level. 59% of landlords say higher insurance premiums have moderately (42%) or significantly (17%) reduced their cash flow over the past year. 30% of investors said property taxes were their largest expense increase last year, followed closely by 29% who cited home insurance.

Mortgage and refinance interest rates today, July 6, 2025: Refinance rates decrease
Mortgage rates on home purchases have ticked up today, but refinance rates have moved in the opposite direction. According to Zillow, the average 30-year fixed refinance rate is down five basis points to 6.59%, and the 15-year fixed refinance rate has fallen by seven basis points to 5.81%. If today's refinance rates are 1% or 2% lower than what you're paying now, it might make sense to refinance your mortgage. For those looking to buy a house, take comfort in knowing that rates haven't shifted much since last week. Dig deeper: 2025 housing market — Is it a good time to buy a house? Here are the current mortgage rates, according to the latest Zillow data: 30-year fixed: 6.59% 20-year fixed: 6.24% 15-year fixed: 5.81% 5/1 ARM: 7.36% 7/1 ARM: 7.38% 30-year VA: 6.14% 15-year VA: 5.60% 5/1 VA: 6.29% Remember, these are the national averages and rounded to the nearest hundredth. These are today's mortgage refinance rates, according to the latest Zillow data: 30-year fixed: 6.59% 20-year fixed: 6.24% 15-year fixed: 5.81% 5/1 ARM: 7.36% 7/1 ARM: 7.38% 30-year VA: 6.14% 15-year VA: 5.60% 5/1 VA: 6.29% Again, the numbers provided are national averages rounded to the nearest hundredth. Mortgage refinance rates are often higher than rates when you buy a house, although that's not always the case. Read more: Is now a good time to refinance your mortgage? Use the mortgage calculator below to see how various mortgage terms and interest rates will impact your monthly payments. Our free mortgage calculator also considers factors like property taxes and homeowners insurance when determining your estimated monthly mortgage payment. This gives you a more realistic idea of your total monthly payment than if you just looked at mortgage principal and interest. The average 30-year mortgage rate today is 6.59%. A 30-year term is the most popular type of mortgage because by spreading out your payments over 360 months, your monthly payment is lower than with a shorter-term loan. The average 15-year mortgage rate is 5.81% today. When deciding between a 15-year and a 30-year mortgage, consider your short-term versus long-term goals. A 15-year mortgage comes with a lower interest rate than a 30-year term. This is great in the long run because you'll pay off your loan 15 years sooner, and that's 15 fewer years for interest to accumulate. But the trade-off is that your monthly payment will be higher as you pay off the same amount in half the time. Let's say you get a $300,000 mortgage. With a 30-year term and a 6.59% rate, your monthly payment toward the principal and interest would be about $1,914, and you'd pay $389,038 in interest over the life of your loan — on top of that original $300,000. If you get that same $300,000 mortgage with a 15-year term and a 5.81% rate, your monthly payment would jump to $2,501. But you'd only pay $150,158 in interest over the years. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your rate is locked in for the entire life of your loan. You will get a new rate if you refinance your mortgage, though. An adjustable-rate mortgage keeps your rate the same for a predetermined period of time. Then, the rate will go up or down depending on several factors, such as the economy and the maximum amount your rate can change according to your contract. For example, with a 7/1 ARM, your rate would be locked in for the first seven years, then change every year for the remaining 23 years of your term. Adjustable rates typically start lower than fixed rates, but once the initial rate-lock period ends, it's possible your rate will go up. Lately, though, some fixed rates have been starting lower than adjustable rates. Talk to your lender about its rates before choosing one or the other. Dig deeper: Fixed-rate vs. adjustable-rate mortgages Mortgage lenders typically give the lowest mortgage rates to people with higher down payments, great or excellent credit scores, and low debt-to-income ratios. So, if you want a lower rate, try saving more, improving your credit score, or paying down some debt before you start shopping for homes. Waiting for rates to drop probably isn't the best method to get the lowest mortgage rate right now. If you're ready to buy, focusing on your personal finances is probably the best way to lower your rate. To find the best mortgage lender for your situation, apply for mortgage preapproval with three or four companies. Just be sure to apply to all of them within a short time frame — doing so will give you the most accurate comparisons and have less of an impact on your credit score. When choosing a lender, don't just compare interest rates. Look at the mortgage annual percentage rate (APR) — this factors in the interest rate, any discount points, and fees. The APR, which is also expressed as a percentage, reflects the true annual cost of borrowing money. This is probably the most important number to look at when comparing mortgage lenders. Learn more: Best mortgage lenders for first-time home buyers According to Zillow, the national average 30-year mortgage rate for purchasing a home is 6.59%, and the average 15-year mortgage rate is 5.81%. But these are national averages, so the average in your area could be different. Averages are typically higher in expensive parts of the U.S. and lower in less expensive areas. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.59% right now, according to Zillow. However, you might get an even better rate with an excellent credit score, sizable down payment, and low debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Mortgage rates aren't expected to drop drastically in the near future, though they may inch down now and then.
