REAL Advokatbyrå advised Urban Partners in connection with the divestment of two logistics portfolios with a combined value of over €1 billion.
The transactions were carried out on behalf of Urban Partners’ funds NSF III, NSF IV, NSF V and NIP. The larger of the two transactions, representing the largest direct logistics portfolio transaction in the Nordics since 2021, involves the sale of 20 modern logistics properties totalling in excess of 600,000 sqm, strategically located across established logistics hubs in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. The buyer is Catena AB, a Swedish-listed logistics property company, with the transaction expected to close in April 2026. The second transaction comprises five logistics properties totalling 118,000 sqm across Sweden and Denmark, acquired by Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan together with its operating partner, Fokus Nordic.
– We at REAL are pleased and honoured to have once again assisted Urban Partners in one of Sweden’s largest logistics transactions, says Mikael Laag, Partner at REAL Advokatbyrå.
