Barings finances two Swedish logistics and industrial properties

Global alternative investment manager Barings has secured two real estate debt transactions in Sweden's logistics and cold storage sectors for its European Real Estate Debt strategies.

Logistics

The first deal involves a debt facility for a 93,800 m2 logistics portfolio in Norrköping and Jönköping.

Situated in the Nordic Trade Triangle, these fully occupied properties provide excellent transit links to major Nordic cities and continental Europe.

The second transaction finances a 26,000 m2 automated, highly sustainable cold storage and warehouse facility located in a major Swedish food production hub.

Both assets benefit from prime access to the E4 highway, local ports, and major cities. Barings continues to target the Swedish market—the largest in the Nordics—driven by strong demand for industrial space and a booming cold chain sector fueled by a growing reliance on imported foods.

Rupert Gill, managing director, head of European Real Estate Debt Portfolio Management at Barings Real Estate, said: “These debt investments further strengthen and diversify our European real estate debt portfolio and demonstrate our continued appetite to support high‑quality assets in the Nordics. We are particularly focused on opportunities where the risk‑return profile is supported by robust underlying asset‑level fundamentals, resilient income streams and sectors benefiting from long‑term structural growth. This underlines our continued focus on high-quality assets and our ability to offer clients access to compelling investment opportunities.”
