CapMan Nordic Real Estate II signs agreement with the Swedish Police to lease in excess of 30,000 sqm of space in Eskilstuna, Sweden
CapMan Nordic Real Estate II fund has entered into an agreement with the Swedish Police to lease more than 30,000 sqm of space on a long-term basis at its Vintergatan 19 property in Eskilstuna for a new police station.
CapMan acquired the 63,000 sqm Vintergatan 19 property in March 2018, which sits on a site of 6.5 hectares on Kungsgatan 71 in central Eskilstuna. In 2019, the main existing tenant, ASSA ABLOY, extended its lease on 11,000 sqm for a period of 12 years. In addition to this, CapMan will now develop a modern police station at the property, which will be ready in 2024 and be of significant value to the Police Authority, its employees and the Södermanland County community.
“We are very excited to enter into a long-term agreement with the Police Authority and to develop a new facility for them. The Police Authority have for some time been searching for a good solution to meet their future needs in Eskilstuna and CapMan is delighted to assist them with this. Completion of this agreement is a major step towards achieving our business plan for the property,” comments Per Tängerstad, Partner at CapMan Real Estate.
Wigge & Partners acted for CapMan in the transaction.
