Recently, the construction company divested its elderly care home in Sollentuna, Sweden, to Altura for a deal value of about $32.85m (SEK280m).

The five-storey property, named Villa Tureberg, will comprise about 500m2 of group housing with special services for adults and around 4,500m2 of accommodation for elderly.

Being developed by Skanska Sweden, the building will be equipped with solar panels on the roof and is being constructed to achieve certification according to LEED Gold.

Construction work of the new elderly care home is currently underway and is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2022.
