Delcore real estate is jointly owned equally by AMF and ICA Real Estate and previously owns around 30 retail properties, which at the time of the company's founding in 2022 had a real estate value of around SEK 4.9 billion.
"Through our investment in Delcore Fastigheter, AMF has a property investment with a market-leading co-owner and long contracts where we expect a stable inflation-linked return. In line with its strategy, the company is acquiring four more properties with a property value of close to SEK 520 million and with ICA as a tenant with long inflation-linked leases. Overall, we see that the investment will generate a good return over time. We look forward to continued good cooperation with ICA," says Pernilla Arnrud Melin, property manager at AMF.
"AMF is one of Sweden's largest owners of properties, with a good mix between commercial properties, residential and community properties. We have built up our property portfolio over time, which means that today we have a strong property portfolio that contributes nicely to the yield and diversification in our total portfolio, which in turn is important for us to be able to cope with different market conditions and economic fluctuations as well as possible. This is something that leads to our savers getting the best possible pensions," says Katarina Romberg, head of asset management AMF.
Within traditional management, AMF's real estate holdings consist of the wholly owned subsidiary AMF Fastigheter, the part-owned Swedish real estate companies Rikshem and Urban Escape, and the two part-owned Finnish real estate companies Antilooppi and Mercada.
The current properties that Delcore Fastigheter intends to acquire are located in Falköping, Frölunda, Landvetter and Eksjö and have a combined area of just over 15,000 square meters.
