The newly acquired properties are located in established and robust submarkets, ideal for a diverse range of tenants.

These properties are strategically situated, offering excellent accessibility and direct connections to major motorways.

With this acquisition, Areim's Swedish light industrial portfolio now boasts over 140 properties, totalling approximately 540,000 m2 of rentable area. These assets are spread across key locations including Greater Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Västerås, Linköping, and Norrköping.

Furthermore, the portfolio includes substantial undeveloped land and ongoing development projects, positioning Areim for continued growth in response to tenant demand.

Kristoffer Ultenius, investment director at Areim, said: “The acquisition marks an important step in the development of our light industrial platform. The diversified tenant base provides stable demand over time, while the scale and development potential of the portfolio create strong conditions for continued growth alongside our tenants.”

Louise Bruneheim, head of Asset Management Light Industrial Sweden at Areim, added: ”Businesses operating in the light industrial sector play a vital role in society today. As urbanisation, digitalisation, and evolving logistics flows continue to drive demand for efficient infrastructure, we take a long-term approach to developing these areas and place great emphasis on understanding our tenants’ business models and future needs.”
