Heart Of Glass
Väsbyhem is a real estate company which owns some 7 900 flats. All the properties are located within the municipality of Upplands Väsby. To become a tenant you have to be registered in a queue for flats and you also have to pay an annual fee while waiting. Their office is a glassy thing located in the intersection between Centralvägen and Industrivägen. See more?

Why do people want to live in these apartments/flats? Is it because they are cheaper than other commercial apartments?
In NYC, we have a quasi-government housing project called the Mitchel-Lama Buildings. These are low-cost housings that are built to help middle-class people live in NYC. There are maximum income requirements, ie. you cannot make more than $60,000 per year or something like that.
i'm so very sorry

The salems
Do people in Sweden tend to rent or do they prefer to buy? Is there a variation around the country? In CH, that is definitely the case, with some cantons with much higher homeownership than others.
I have the same question as Ming. Why are the apartments owned by this company in such demand?
This could turn into an essay and has been subject to a lot of debate during the recent decades.
In a nutshell, there's a shortage. The reason, at least if you ask me, is that the housing sector has been influenced by various political intentions and, consequently, there's is not a well functioning market.
The fraction of apartments being rented is declining. This company, Väsbyhem, is part of that politically influenced sector with a social agenda. So they still offer flats for rent.

The Salems: I think this is primarily office space and it’s not that huge really. The perspective sometimes tricks us into believing otherwise.
A view of central Upplands Väsby, including this building, can be found in this post on plenty – our sidekick blog.
I liked this one, Per. You have a way with low angled photography.
