Catella Residential Investment Management GmbH (CRIM) and Catella Real Estate AG (CREAG) have acquired a newly completed residential development in Helsinki.

The complex was completed in August 2020 and comprises ca. 2,170m² of leasable area.

This transaction further strengthens the composition of our portfolio in Finland. More than 70% of our Finnish assets are located in and around Helsinki and the Finnish properties rank as the newest in the CWE Fund’s portfolio with an average age of eight years.”
