EGG is now assessing buildings across Sweden. See the research →
In discussions — 2026

We know which buildings to act on — now we're acting.

EGG is in discussions with two property owners, potentially as a joint venture, to renovate a building the model has already assessed. Our approach is set: five principles that decide what we work on, how we work, and who we work with.

Our approach — five principles

What every EGG project must hold true.

01
Historical identity stays.
The building's character — the riveted beam, the sawtooth roof, the brick wall — is preserved as the project's soul, not erased.
02
Structure stays.
We design around the existing load-bearing system. No full demolitions. The structure is the brief.
03
Community designs with us.
Residents and municipalities are part of the brief from day one — before the first drawing.
04
Housing pressure eased.
Every project adds homes to a market that needs them, priced for the neighbourhood it sits in.
05
Carbon stays low.
Reusing a structure saves 50–70% of a new-build's global warming potential. We measure every project.
Site selection

How we choose a building to work on.

A site only becomes an EGG project if it passes all six criteria. If any one fails, we pass — no exceptions.

✓
Structural reuse > 70%
At least seventy per cent of the existing structure can stay.
✓
Heritage value present
A character the neighbourhood would miss if demolished — documented, not assumed.
✓
Transit within 800m
Tram, commuter rail, or metro in walking distance. No car-first sites.
✓
Housing shortage area
The municipality has documented unmet residential demand.
✓
GWP saving ≥ 40%
The reuse scenario beats a new-build baseline by at least forty per cent.
✓
Municipality willing
Local government is an active partner on zoning and public works.
Pipeline

In discussions — a joint venture.

EGG is in discussions with two property owners, potentially as a joint venture, to renovate a building the model has already assessed. The building has passed all six site criteria. If discussions succeed, it will be the first project where EGG's condition assessment directly guides a renovation.
