The vendor is the Swedish fund manager Mengus. Barings was advised on the transaction by Catella Corporate Finance and on the legal side by Real Advokat.

“The acquisition of Fleming 7, which is our second investment in Sweden after an acquisition of a retail high street building in Malmö, was bought for one of our pan European core strategies to strengthen Barings’ presence in the Nordics. We are continuously looking for logistics, office, residential and hotel opportunities in Sweden and Finland varying from core to value add on the risk spectrum," says Gunther Deutsch, Head of Real Estate Transactions Europe at Barings.

Cushman & Wakefield and Roschier acted as financial and legal adviser to Mengus.
