HSB (Sweden)

HSB or Hyresgästernas sparkasse - och byggnadsförening is a cooperative association for housing in Sweden. The organization's name could be roughly translated as "The Savings and Construction Association of the Tenants". Members of the association are HSB's customers, i.e. individuals or groups that have bought properties from HSB. Any entity that buys any property from HSB will automatically become a member.

HSB owns the tallest building in Sweden; the Turning Torso.
