NIB finances Vacse’s judicial and law enforcement infrastructure projects in Växjö and Solna

• NIB has signed a SEK 400 million (EUR 37 million), 14-year loan with Swedish real estate company Vacse AB.
• The loan will co-finance the construction of a new courthouse in Växjö, as well as the refurbishment of an existing office space for the Swedish law enforcement authorities in Solna.
• The total project costs are approximately SEK 1,150 million.

The new courthouse in Växjö will bring together the District Court, Administrative Court, and Land and Environment Court, improving coordination and internal logistics. The number of courtrooms will double from eight to 16, helping reduce bottlenecks and waiting times.

The BREEAM Outstanding courthouse is designed for high resource and energy efficiency, using low-carbon materials such as reused bricks, recycled components, and low-carbon concrete. Around 40% of electricity demand (excluding tenants’) will be generated on site via solar panels and battery storage.

The refurbished office space for law enforcement authorities in Solna will bring together various units within the tenant’s organization. The project will also replace outdated noncompliant facilities and consolidate operations in a modern setting. This is expected to improve coordination and operational efficiency, support faster response times, and strengthen crisis management across the Stockholm region.

The renovation of the office space in Solna focuses on retaining as much of the existing building materials as possible while adapting the property to its new use. The building is targeting a BREEAM In-Use rating of “Very Good”.

“These investments will strengthen essential public services by improving both the efficiency of the justice system and the responsiveness of law enforcement,” says Sari Cabell, Senior Banker, NIB.
