Veidekke Eiendom AS has signed a contract with Pareto Eiendomsfellesskap AS for
the sale of a commercial property in Berghagan Industrial park in the
municipality of Ski.
The property comprises a logistics building of 11,650m², of which over 60% is
leased to Truck & Trailer Industry AS on a 15-year lease. Negotiations are under
way for lease of the remaining area in the building. The property is under
construction and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
"Together with Veidekke Logistikkbygg, we have increased our focus on own
-account development of logistics sites. This is an exciting project with a
good, reliable tenant, which we are pleased to have sold to a professional
property owner with a long-term perspective. By selling the project before
completion, we are freeing up capital for new projects," says Thomas Nielsen,
Investments Director at Veidekke Eiendom.
"We are very pleased to have acquired yet another modern logistics facility that
fits perfectly into the fund's existing portfolio. With Veidekke as the project
manager and contractor, we know that we are getting a top-quality product for
both the tenant and the property owner," says Johan Anker-Rasch, CEO of Pareto
Alternative Investments.
The sale of the logistics project is an important milestone in Veidekke's
business strategy with a focus on developing logistics projects, offices and
combined residential and commercial projects.
