Sveafastigheter and Midstar acquire Ibis Hotel Nyköping

Sveafastigheter adds another hotel to Fund III through the acquisition of the 96 room Ibis Hotel Nyköping. The hotel is located between central Nyköping and Skavsta Airport, Sweden’s third largest airport.

In November 2010 Sveafastigheter and Midstar bought Accor’s local operating company, renamed Norse Hotels, as well as 14 hotels. The Ibis Malmö Hotel was acquired in February this year and the consolidation of the portfolio now continues with the acquisition of the Ibis Hotel Nyköping.

The acquisition is carried out through a joint venture together with hotel asset manager Midstar and the

Cologne based hotel operating partner Event Holding. The vendor is Home Properties AB (publ).

- We are delighted to continue the implementation of our business plan for hotels investments. By comprehensively renovating the hotel we will be well positioned in the Nyköping market, a market which we believe to have good potential for long term growth, says Simon de Château, CEO at Sveafastigheter.
