Vincero Bostad and Magnolia Bostad jointly acquired in 2013 the property on the site of the former Slotts mustard factory (“Senapsfabriken”) on Kungsgatan in central Uppsala. Senapsfabriken is located in the Kungsängen district, an area now undergoing a transformation from an industrial zone into an attractive residential neighborhood. Three blocks with 1,800 rental and tenant-owned apartments, under the name Senapsfabriken, are under development and represent one of the largest cohesive residential projects in Uppsala. The project and planning have been carried out together with JM, which acquired part of the property in 2013. SEB Trygg Liv acquired the first stage, comprising more than 450 rental apartments, which will be managed by Riksbyggen. Move-ins for all stages are planned for 2019–2020.

From Senapsfabriken, it is within walking distance to the central station, with only 40 minutes to Stockholm and 20 minutes to Arlanda Airport. The residential buildings, designed by Sweco Architects, will feature tasteful architectural variation that contributes to a welcoming entrance to Uppsala. The apartments’ high level of functionality will provide easy access to generous communal spaces, the spacious courtyard, and the ground floor along Kungsgatan, which will include shops and services that contribute to a vibrant street life.
