About Us

Next Step Group is a long-term urban and real estate developer rooted in Western Sweden, founded in 2004. We don’t just develop properties – we create vibrant districts, innovation environments and strategic areas where people, businesses and ideas can grow together. Our projects combine sustainability, quality and future vision to create long-term value across the region.

Our approach is clearly visible in GoCo Health Innovation City. Since 2017, GoCo has developed from vision into an established life science ecosystem with more than 100 tenants.

We believe in collaboration as a driving force for development. Through close partnerships with actors from industry, academia and the real estate sector, Next Step Group turns visions into reality. Together with Vectura Fastigheter, we are developing Näst in close collaboration with Volvo Cars.

How We Work

At Next Step Group, everything begins with a vision. But we know visions become stronger when they meet reality. That’s why we show our ideas early — through sketches, visualizations and dialogue — allowing everyone affected to see, understand and participate from the start.

We believe in conversations that make a difference. Neighbors, companies, politicians or future users — everyone has the opportunity to contribute before the first shovel hits the ground. This ensures the final result is not only well considered, but also vibrant and useful for those who will use it.

We manage the entire journey. From concept and sketch to completed environment, we see the whole rather than individual parts. This creates places that are more coherent, sustainable and adapted to real needs.
