COLONY ACQUIRES DARK GREEN OFFICE ASSET AT THE HELSINKI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Colony recently acquired another office property under its brown-to-green impact investment strategy. The property was acquired from the Finnish property company Antilooppi.
The office building is located approx. 500 meters from the terminal at the main international airport, Helsinki airport. Leasable area is spanning almost 19,000 sqm over 7 floors, along with close to 1,300 parking spots. It offers large floors of approx. 3,000 sqm and several amenities including an intercompany restaurant, an auditorium, meeting rooms, a gym and a rooftop sauna. It is a dark green property, with LEED Platinum certification and EPC grade A. The City Council has taken a decision to develop a light railway station adjacent to the entrance, which is planned to be finished in 2028.
“We are positive on Finland and Helsinki for many reasons, such as its political stability, economic growth and ability to deliver fundamental infrastructure projects, which drives long-term growth. The EUR 1 billion airport update is a success and the development of a tram station next to the property in 2028 is welcomed.” says Stefan Gattberg, founder and partner at Altaal and chairman of Colony
Colony is a company founded and managed by Altaal and co-managed together with Avant Capital Partners in Helsinki with the vision to create a green hybrid office company. Today, the portfolio consists of five locations in established office hubs across Helsinki comprising approx. 120,000 sqm. The property portfolio is a 100% green certified office portfolio with locations only in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.
“We are now seeing office leasing edging closer to pre-pandemic levels but occupiers demand quality stock with highly sustainable building features. Our focus on green hybrid offices in the best locations seem to be a winning model for the tenant of tomorrow.” says Teemu Saxén, Partner at Avant Capital Partners and CEO of Colony
