Through carefully designed floor plans, efficient home care logistics and a process run with full transparency, we reduce municipal risk and help seniors live better for longer.
Many seniors stay in homes that are too large for too long. This is harmful for older people and also from a socioeconomic perspective, as it creates inertia in the housing market.
We want to encourage more seniors to move to homes better suited to their needs, improving their quality of life. This also frees up larger homes for younger working-age families. It expands the tax base, raises birth rates and strengthens the municipality's appeal.
For many families, the cooperative can outperform renting over time.
With capital gains deferral and transparent monthly fees, seniors can adapt their housing without decades of pure rental expense, while keeping comfort and community. We share scenario calculators, break-even points and balanced real-life examples comparing cooperative ownership and renting.
Design and geographic concentration give the care team more time.
Accessible floor plans, functional communal areas and geographic concentration reduce travel time for home care, increase time with each resident and help delay moves into care homes. We provide performance indicators per building, example routes and savings projections for typical conditions.
Open, repeatable and adaptable — lower risk from idea to move-in.
A proven four-storey courtyard type, with high accessibility and modular options — garage, garden house, local services — delivers predictable cost, time and quality. We provide delivery roadmaps, governance models and site-specific projections from idea to move-in.

Five clear steps, from initial analysis to long-term management
We meet early with municipal decision-makers and officers to align on goals and constraints. A feasibility study and market analysis confirm whether the project is viable, where it fits and what is needed.
The conditions for the planned site are negotiated with the municipality and the main agreements are defined. Where necessary, detailed planning is started and completed in parallel with building demand for the future apartments.
Project documentation is developed in parallel with planning, and building permits are obtained. Interested buyers can pre-register, and once around 70% of the apartments are pre-reserved, construction can begin. The land purchase is completed and execution is coordinated with contractors, local subcontractors and municipal stakeholders.
The project moves into production with close supervision, transparent reporting and ongoing inspections. Our project managers, site managers and inspectors ensure quality through to the final inspection, handover to the housing association and resident move-in.
Solhemmet establishes the housing association, prepares the statutes and appoints the first board. We retain representation as an experienced builder for at least two years after handover, and municipal representatives may be invited to join the board. After that, the board contracts property management and related services.
