The transaction includes four properties located in Jönköping, Lidköping, Götene and Olofström with a total lettable area of approximately 40,000 sqm. The seller of the properties is a company within the Nävrabäcken group. The properties are fully leased with newly signed 15-year leases. Alma took possession of the properties on October 3, 2016.
 
“The facilities in Jönköping, Lidköping and Götene are modern production and warehouse properties that are well suited to the tenants’ operations. The transaction fits within Alma’s industrial and logistics portfolio very well because of the long leases and stable cash flow. We hope to continue developing the properties and the relationships with the tenants going forward,” says Christofer Lundquist of Alma Property Partners.
 
The acquisition was made by the subsidiary Sydsvenska Industrihus AB which Alma owns and operates in cooperation with P&E Fastighetspartner in Kalmar. Tenant & Partner advised the seller in the transaction.
 
Alma Property Partners has acquired the properties Handelsmannen 1 and Handelsmannen 2, which comprise approximately 5,600 sqm, in Växjö’s leading external retail area Samarkand. The properties were acquired, together with Pronordia, from a group of private investors.
 
“We are happy to acquire two strategically located properties in Växjö’s strongest retail area. We believe that Samarkand will continue to be an attractive and competitive retail area and we look forward to continuing to develop the properties by strengthening the offering to consumers, increasing visibility and creating additional retail space,” says Simon de Château, Partner & CIO at Alma Property Partners.
