NREP increases its exposure to Swedish core logistics markets with the purchase of 86,000 m² situated in Gothenburg, Jönköping, Örebro and Stockholm. NREP have acquired the assets from four different sellers namely DSV, Berlinovo, a Saudi family office and Schroders. NREP have in conjunction with the transactions signed a loan facility of SEK 890 mln (approx. 103 mln) to finance the purchase and to re-finance part of the existing logistics portfolio in Sweden.
The portfolio purchased from DSV constitutes three cross dockings situated in Gothenburg, Jönköping and Stockholm totaling 46,000 m² on long leases. DSV has in conjunction with the transaction prolonged the lease with NREP in its 60,000 m² Borås asset.
The property purchased from Berlinovo is a very well situated 16,700 m² distribution centre in the port of Gothenburg occupied by the Swedish Post. The 13,300 m² cross docking purchased from the Saudi family office is located next to the E20/E18 motorway intersection in Örebro and is let to the Swedish Post.
