The Real Estate Committee plans to approve an extensive renovation of the roof, facade, and windows of building 05 in Pilträdet 11, the old Serafimerlasarettet. This historically significant building, green-marked on the City Museum's map and currently used by the Education Administration, will undergo restoration to its original appearance, potentially including changes to facade color and lighting, to ensure weather protection. The project is scheduled to start in 2027 and be completed in 2028.

Aspudden Sports Ground will receive a new service building with additional changing rooms, showers, referee rooms, a pantry, and a kiosk. The existing changing room building will be renovated and connected to the new one, improving the work environment and ventilation. This project, expected to be completed in early 2028, aims to create a modern and safer facility, enriching sports and club life for Aspudden residents, including schools and children.

Nytorpsbadet in Hammarbyhöjden will undergo renovation of its water purification system and pool between September 2026 and April 2027. This is intended to keep the 1961 facility, which has outdated buildings and technology, operational until a larger renovation and development planned for around 2034. The works include replacing sand filters and pumps, and improving water play features in the splash pool.

Husbybadet is to be demolished, and a new swimming facility will be built on the Bislet 1 property in Husby, as the current one from 1999 has extensive structural defects rendering it unsuitable for renovation. The new facility will feature a larger lap pool, two teaching pools, an adventure pool, diving tower, gym, and group exercise rooms, with the existing bath remaining open until the new one is completed by 2031 as part of the Fokus Järva project.

The City of Stockholm plans to construct a temporary sports hall at Dalhagen’s BP in Akalla, to replace the Husby sports hall while it is demolished to make way for the new Husbybadet and a new permanent sports hall. Expected to be ready in early 2027 and cost between SEK 50-300 million, this temporary facility will accommodate basketball, floorball, handball, and school sports, with the hope that it could become a long-term asset for the area even after the new permanent hall in Husby is complete.

The Stockholm Property Committee has approved a revised plan to address extensive damage, including rusty pipes and sewage leaks, in the Hötorgsgaraget’s pump pits and drainage system. This project will renovate two pump pits, pipelines, concrete slab, pillars, and rebar in the city-owned portion of the garage, as well as decouple it from neighboring properties' systems, aiming for completion by late 2028 at an estimated cost of 50 to 300 million SEK.

The Moderate Party questioned the Real Estate Department on how material prices, discounts, and bonuses are handled in procurements to ensure optimal use of taxpayer money. The department stated they have procedures to track material costs, but annual turnover discounts, based on a contractor's total purchases, belong to the contractor, not the city. Attempting to reclaim these bonuses would likely increase costs and require significant resources, so the department deems current routines sufficient and will not change them.

The Moderates questioned the Property Management Department regarding the costs and need for new premises when municipal operations, such as park maintenance in Järva, Hägersten Älvsjö, and Bromma, are brought back in-house, noting that such decisions often lead to expensive external rentals without prior consideration of premises. The Property Management Department responded that they have limited insight into projects outside their own portfolio, act on requests from other committees, and aim for versatile premises with financial follow-up at the cost center level, clarifying they can assist with available premises but lack an overarching function for all city-wide needs.

The Moderates questioned the Real Estate Department about the maintenance of Stockholm's properties, specifically how they will assess needs, prioritize actions, and improve investment reporting. The department responded that they are implementing a new maintenance planning system by 2026 and developing clearer prioritization principles, adding that distinguishing investment types is challenging but they continuously inform the board of maintenance needs.

The Sweden Democrats have proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the possibility of using existing properties, such as tunnels and garages, as civil shelters to enhance resident protection during crises or war, as many Stockholmers lack access to such shelters. The Property Department views city-wide collaboration on the matter positively, but believes coordination should be handled by the City Executive Office in cooperation with the Agency for Civil Protection.

The Sweden Democrats have motioned to investigate whether the work tunnels in thea new Östberga tunnel, built for storm water, could be used as shelters once construction is complete. The Real Estate Department states they cannot investigate this as the tunnel is not part of their portfolio, suggesting instead that the City Management Office's security department handle the matter.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a referral response regarding the City of Stockholm's action plan for children's rights and influence up to 2030. The Committee is positive towards the action plan but suggests it be supplemented with areas such as the structure of the city's youth councils, a knowledge base on children's needs in construction and outdoor environments, and how administrations should work to ensure children's access to nature and play in the city.

The City of Stockholm aims to establish a consistent standard for the design and function of preschool premises through a new functional program. This program will streamline planning, construction, and renovation efforts to ensure all facilities are fit-for-purpose, safe, and secure for children and staff alike. The Property Department supports the initiative, anticipating increased efficiency, time savings, cost reductions, and a more equitable standard across all preschools.

The protocol from the Council for Disability Issues, an advisory body, indicates that Dolores Back was elected chairman and Carin Lemberg vice-chairman. The Council also discussed the Real Estate Department's 2026 plans for accessibility in office buildings, shelter upgrades, inventory of LSS housing, and accessibility in nature reserves and sports facilities. The Environment Department is focusing this year on checking allergy information in restaurants and ensuring chemical products in stores have child-proof closures, despite these potentially being difficult for people with disabilities to open.

The Property Department has reported on decisions made independently, including the Head of Department approving the sale of a tenant-owner apartment at Svartviksslingan 19 in Bromma. Additionally, the Head of Department has approved study trips to Norway for two employees in April 2026.

The City of Stockholm is allocating 77.1 million SEK in 2026 for safety-enhancing measures in public spaces, funding improvements such as lighting, place revitalization, and crime prevention. Forty-six of fifty applications from various committees and districts were approved to increase safety in areas perceived as insecure, especially those identified by police as vulnerable or at risk of becoming open drug scenes.

The Labour Market Administration's management group noted ongoing disruptive repairs at Komvux Södermalm (Åsö) and that the property owner is investigating future maintenance. They also reviewed new activity requirements for social assistance, leasing of Komvux Kista premises, revised Stockholmsjobb guidelines, and confirmation from the Swedish Work Environment Authority that work environment deficiencies at Frans Schartau, Blekingegatan 55, have been rectified.

The Labour Market Administration reports on administrative decisions and received matters concerning the city's adult education and labour market measures. This includes decisions on arranging summer jobs for youth, handling appeals regarding compensation for Komvux students, and applications for new vocational university programs at Frans Schartau Business Institute. The report also covers staff travel for professional development and referrals concerning, among other things, guidelines for financial assistance and an action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm.

The Labour Market Committee has approved its monthly report for February 2026, which indicates the committee is expected to stay within budget for the year. Revenues from the National Agency for Education and the Migration Agency for adult education and refugee reception are significantly higher than planned, while unemployment and the number of adults receiving financial assistance in Stockholm have decreased slightly year-on-year.

The City of Stockholm has developed an action plan to secure children's rights, combat discrimination, and promote equal living conditions for children until 2030. The Labour Market Administration supports the plan but suggests improving its structure and language. They also propose a greater focus on racism and disability issues, and that the administration be more clearly designated as responsible for aspects concerning young people's participation in working life, such as through summer jobs.
