CapMan Real Estate in cooperation with Universal-Investment continues acquisitions for BVK by acquiring a property in Copenhagen from MT Højgaard
CapMan Real Estate expands Bayerische Versorgungskammer’s (BVK) Danish portfolio with the acquisition of a 8,900 sqm project developed by MT Højgaard in Flintholm. The acquisition expands the investment volume of CapMan’s mandate from BVK, which is a real estate fund held on the fund platform of Universal-Investment, to EUR 850 million based on the GAV of the portfolio.
The Flintholm property is located in Frederiksberg, an attractive residential area in Copenhagen, with park access and close to one of the main transportation hubs in the city.
The project will comprise 5,940 sqm residential area in 54 units, 500 sqm retail space and 59 parking spaces as well as storage space in the basement. All units will be equipped by either balconies or terraces.
The property is acquired on a forward funding basis from MT Højgaard, who will also be the general contractor. Construction of the property starts in the first quarter of 2020 with delivery of the turnkey project expected by the end of 2021.
“Flintholm is an excellent addition to BVK’s high quality residential portfolio. We look forward to our continued co-operation with BVK as we have a strong pipeline for further acquisitions across the Nordic countries,” comments Robert Feldt, Investment Director at CapMan Real Estate.
High requirements for architecture and townscape from Municipality of Frederiksberg
Architect Holscher Nordberg has designed an attractive project with attention to detail. This becomes apparent in the terraced building with the light shaded bricks, active zones in front of the retracted entrances, balconies with integrated plant containers and bay windows with views towards the park.
“With the development and sale of this project, we ensure a well-executed finalization of the area and delivery of a product that is in line with our own and the Municipality of Frederiksberg’s high requirements to architecture and townscape. We have been working with these features of the project, that in sum adds more value to the town and the community in the area”, comments Christina Jørgensen, Director of Project Development & PPP at MT Højgaard.
CapMan Real Estate’s Nordic organisation includes more than 40 committed real estate investment professionals, managing over €2.5 billion in real estate investments.
