BlackRock Real Assets ostaa toimistorakennuksen Helsingissä

Kauppa on ensimmäinen saksalaisen vakuutusyhtiön puolesta tehty kiinteistösijoitus. Se toteutettiin osana sijoittajan puolesta globaalisti hallinnoitavia sijoituksia (managed account) 2IP:n saksalaisella alustalla. Kauppa on jatkoa BlackRockin lisääntyneelle sijoitustoiminnalle Pohjoismaissa.

Toimistorakennus sijaitsee Helsingin Ruoholahdessa. Sen vuokrattava pinta-ala on 12 360 neliömetriä. Porkkalankatu 5:ssa sijaitseva kuusikerroksinen rakennus on rakennettu vuonna 1984 ja remontoitu vuonna 2012. Kiinteistössä on viisi vuokralaista.

Ruoholahti on yksi Helsingin tärkeimmistä toimistokeskittymistä. Hyvien liikenneyhteyksien ja kehittyneen infrastruktuurin ansiosta yritysten pääkonttorit ja suuret vuokralaiset suosivat aluetta.

BlackRock osti kiinteistön pitkäaikaiseksi sijoitukseksi noudattaen asiakkaan toimeksiantoa, jonka mukaisesti ostettavaksi etsitään kaikentyyppisiä laadukkaita, tuloja tuottavia ydinkiinteistöjä vahvoilla markkinoilla Euroopassa, Pohjois-Amerikassa ja Aasian kehittyneillä markkinoilla.

Victor Persson, Vice President, BlackRock Real Assets, sanoo: “Olemme iloisia tulostamme Suomen kiinteistömarkkinoille ja pohjoismaisen jalansijamme kasvattamisesta. Uskomme, että Suomen markkinoilta voimme saada tasaista tuloa ja että siellä on hyviä mahdollisuuksia tehdä lisäsijoituksia tulevaisuudessa. Jatkamme innokkaasti vahvan globaalin ydinkiinteistösalkun rakentamista saksalaisen asiakkaamme puolesta.

BlackRock toimi sijoitus- ja salkunhallinnan neuvonantajana rahastolle. 2IP tarjoaa salkunhoito ja hallinnointipalveluita.
