Korab International AB is already well acquainted with the property, having previously operated from the same location. The company vacated the premises in December 2021 in connection with the start of construction on the large-scale development project. Now, Korab is returning – to brand new opportunities in a completely modernised setting.
– We are delighted to be returning to Kvarteret Johanna. We look forward to moving into modern, purpose-built offices tailored to our operations. The central location, combined with high quality and an excellent service offering, creates an inspiring environment where we can thrive and grow. This move is an important step for our employees, our visitors – and for our continued development, says Peter Ljungsvik, CEO of Korab International AB.
With Korab International’s re-establishment, the already strong line-up of tenants at Kvarteret Johanna is further enhanced. Interest in the development remains high among companies seeking central office space in Gothenburg’s most desirable business district.
– We are very pleased to welcome Korab back to Kvarteret Johanna. When previous tenants choose to return, it is a strong affirmation of the quality of our offering and our customer-focused approach. Long-term relationships and satisfied tenants are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Korab, says Anki Håkansson, Property Manager Gothenburg at Hufvudstaden.
Tenants at Kvarteret Johanna enjoy access to a comprehensive range of services, including a rooftop restaurant by Stureplansgruppen, a Nordic Wellness gym and Hufvudstaden’s own coworking concept, Cecil.

About Kvarteret Johanna
Kvarteret Johanna is one of the most centrally located city blocks in Gothenburg, situated by the historic canals, just steps from Brunnsparken and the Central Station – with the iconic department store Nordiska Kompaniet as its nearest neighbour. The project is one of the largest developments underway in the inner city and will be an important addition to the revitalisation of the Fredstan district.
The redevelopment and new construction total approximately 32,000 square metres of space for offices, retail and restaurants. The block retains its architectural diversity outwardly, while internally all buildings are interconnected to enable highly flexible office solutions – from 150 sqm to over 4,300 sqm on a single floor. Completion is scheduled for 2026.
The name Johanna pays tribute to two Göteborg institutions – the statue “Johanna i Brunnsparken” and the legendary restaurant Johanna, once located on the site known as “Brända tomten.” The block lies in Fredstan, at the very heart of central Gothenburg.
Three key service concepts will provide added value to future tenants:
- A rooftop restaurant by Stureplansgruppen, with panoramic views over the city
- A Nordic Wellness gym on Drottninggatan
- Hufvudstaden’s own Cecil Coworking, offering private offices, shared workspaces and a large conference centre open to members and external guests
