Umeå is one of the few
cities in Sweden to have experienced consistent growth over
the past 50 years.
One element of this continual expansion involves joining the current city centre with the university campus just 1.5 kilometres away. The property company Balticgruppen is involved in several such major projects, one of which is the development of the whole block comprising Kv. Forsete, the Utopia mall and the Glitne housing cooperative.
