Castellum Sells Properties for SEKm 1.700

GÖTEBORG, Oct. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Castellum has completed the sale of 38 properties with the primary aim of quality-repositioning, as well as concentrating and reducing the proportion of smaller properties among our property portfolio, particularly in the industrial and retail segments. Selling price amounted to SEKm 1.700, after deduction for costs and calculated deferred taxes totalling SEKm 98.

The basic property-purchase price thus amounted to SEKm 1.798. Sales price is on a level with the latest asset valuation.

The Purchaser is Sinoma Fastighets AB and closing date is effective December 31, 2018.

The portfolio comprises a total of approx. 175,000 sq.m and consists primarily of light industry and retail premises, but also includes premises for warehouse and office-space. This sale signifies that Castellum is concentrating the portfolio to more strategic locations and reducing the proportion of industrial and retail premises in the company's property portfolio. It also means that Castellum is withdrawing from Alingsås and Lerum.

Total rental income for the properties amounts to approx. SEKm 166. At closing the economic occupancy rate will be approx. 91 % and the average remaining lease duration will be approx. 2,7 years.

"Castellum's holdings will continue to consist of the acknowledged largest office-space and logistics portfolios in Sweden. This transaction signifies that we, in order to quality-repositioning, are concentrating our portfolio to strategic locations. It's part and parcel of our long-term strategy to continue growing and to increase portfolio quality and density through both property projects and acquisitions", says Henrik Saxborn, Castellum CEO.
