Le mie ricette per la real estate communityPictet Alternative Advisors (“Pictet”) and Brunswick Real Estate (“Brunswick”) have divested Vanda 3, a 63,000 sqm mixed-use property in Akalla, Stockholm to Barings, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, which has acquired the asset on behalf of a pan-European core property strategy. Brunswick will continue to manage the property on behalf of Barings.
Vanda 3 is a 63,000 sqm high-quality and flexible mixed-use property in Akalla, Stockholm, which includes data centre, printing, warehouse and office premises. The property is well positioned in the northern suburbs of Stockholm and offers several development opportunities with its strategic location from both a logistics and infrastructure perspective, and the area is one of Stockholm’s most prioritised for data centres. Since the acquisition in December 2020, Pictet and Brunswick have increased the net operating income of the property by almost 20% and initiated two major sustainability projects which will reduce energy consumption by approximately 60%.
