Quotes

The sale of Globen City is the largest transaction so far this year, so it is clearly prestigious for us to have completed the sale with a good outcome.
Anders Nordvall, head of the Swedish property advisory services
This project is a perfect example of when local expertise and international investment interest in Dusseldorf come together.
Klaus Franken, Head of Catella’s Property advisory operations in Germany
We are proud to be able to present a transaction volume of this magnitude and therefore consolidate our position in Europe.
Anders Palmgren, Head of Corporate Finance at Catella
A majority of both lenders and borrowers polled indicate an easier lending environment in the current and near term. This is reflected in the mix of real estate transactions in the first half of the year that saw geared investors taking a bigger share of total acquisitions.
Daniel Anderbring, Research Analyst at Catella
We believe the trend of alternative sourcing of financing to continue and bond issues with security in underlying properties to capture a larger share of the total real estate related bond market.
Niclas Forsman, Capital Markets Analyst at Catella
The sale of Webhallen is a transaction of which we are proud of; particularly since we believe that in all likelihood it will be one of the more strategically important transactions from an e-commerce perspective in the Nordic region in 2013. Komplett being one of the biggest e-commerce players in the Nordics, Webhallen being one of the fastest growing. In addition, we appreciate the fact that Dixons Retail, which is based in the UK, entrusted us with the management of this important project for them in the Nordic region.
Fredrik Bergholm, Head of Catella Consumer
We perceive that it is precisely online companies and retail companies within clear niches which will dominate the Nordic M&As market in 2013. It is within this area that Catella's strength lies as an adviser and we are extremely pleased to be able to present this deal.
Jonas Hedman, responsible project manager at Catella Consumer
I’m pleased that Catella has advised in another prime real estate transaction on the Baltic market. It’s just few months since Catella advised Ektornet in the sale of its commercial real estate portfolio in Estonia, and similar substantial projects are underway.
Pauls Platais, Partner Catella in the Baltics
The Coca Cola Plaza transaction indicates that investors are continually interested to invest in the Estonian real estate market and prefer well located properties with good tenant covenant.

Catella: Senior housing and healthcare in focus for European investors

The new Catella Market Tracker, Senior Housing and Healthcare Property, shows that the market for social real estate still is in the start-up phase in Europe, compared to North America, Japan and South Africa. However, the differences across Europe are large, which creates exceptional opportunities in this relatively young asset class.The demographic shift towards a structurally ageing European society has become an increasing focus for politicians and capital markets in recent years. The altered picture of ageing sees the period after retirement as a new, active, productive and eventful

Catella: A strong year for property investments in Finland ahead

The new Catella Market Indicator Finland spring 2017 has now been published.  The real estate transaction volume last year exceeded the previous record in Finland, and it seems like the market will remain very active also in 2017.The total transaction volume for 2016 was EUR 7.1 billion, which is a new Finnish record. This time, the all-time high volume was reached during a period of relatively slow economic growth. As in recent years, the majority of buyers were domestic investors, while during the previous peak years, the growth in volume was largely a result of international investors

Catella: German office markets continue to impress in 2017

The new office map from Catella shows the positive economic situation of the German office market at 76 locations. While prime rents have increased almost everywhere, the attractiveness of prime objects can be seen in the continuously decreasing yields – from first tier to fourth tier.“The strongest increase of rents in the German office market is found in second-tier locations, with an increase of 5.3% compared to last year, followed by the first tier. Frankfurt is currently the frontrunner for rents, with EUR 39.00 /square metre. For the first time ever, the EUR 10.00 /square metre level

Positive momentum despite increasing credit margins

The December issue of the Swedish Catella Real Estate Debt Indicator shows an improvement in the CREDI Main Index from 42.5 to 44.4, which indicates positive momentum in credit sentiment in Sweden. However, the market is still in contraction as the surveyed banks and property companies agree that credit margins are increasing.“Over the past three months, we have observed a small but noticeable improvement in the CREDI Main Index from 42.5 to 44.4, which is the best result since September 2015. However, banks and property companies agree that credit margins have increased and will continue

Catella: Highest expected real estate yield in Marseilles, Birmingham, Helsinki, Prague and Glasgow

Today the new Catella Market Tracker was launched. The market tracker includes a new valuation and risk model that has been developed by Catella Research. The conclusion is that Catella expects that Marseilles, Birmingham, Helsinki, Prague and Glasgow will offer real estate investors the greatest yield potential in the coming five years.“Our conclusion is that the real estate sector’s professionals should look for new ways to assess risks. In this current positive market environment investors should be more focused on the so called fat tail events, e.g. the very unlikely events, in their

Catella: Parking in Europe – investors focus on multi-storey car parks

Until now, multi-storey car parks have barely been on investors’ radars. Ongoing yield compression of traditional property investments is changing all that. There are currently around 300 million public parking spaces in Europe and 48,000 multi-storey car parks. However, there is a vastly diffuse nature to the companies that provide parking facilities, lacking in uniformity.Investors are becoming more aware of multi-storey car parks in terms of two essential aspects: cash flow and appreciation potential. Throughout Europe, Catella’s analyses indicate that the outlook for these two areas

Catella: Increasing demand from international investors for the Nordics

The Northern European property market is increasingly featuring in the pan-European real estate portfolios of institutional investors. Compared with other European countries, the economic transparency and prosperity of the markets in the Nordic countries makes them a popular option. Also, the availability of capital opens up new investment opportunities. Catella foresees these opportunities, especially for investments in the office and retail markets.In general, some 90% of invested capital in the Nordic countries is based on domestic markets (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland), with a

Catella: Consolidation is coming to Europe’s retail sector

At present, there are some 590 million square metres of retail space in Europe. A never-ending stream of technological innovations is giving digitalisation an increasingly prominent position in our everyday lives. This is having tremendous effects on shopping activities, and Catella predicts a loss of 10% of retail space in Europe by 2030.Future technological innovation and the societal impact of digital natives will radically alter the definition of shopping between now and 2030. Customer focus, transparency, festivalisation and window shopping will be the focal issues. These are some of

Catella: Real estate transaction volume still at record level in Finland

In Finland, last year’s transaction volume was EUR 5.2 billion, which is the third highest volume ever, and not far from the 2007 record of 6 billion euro. Major transactions by foreign investors and Finnish housing investors had a significant impact on the transaction volume. We predict that the real estate transaction volume will also remain high in 2016 as interest rates will remain low for a long time and capital still flowing.The difference in yield requirements between Helsinki CBD and other areas has been increasing for an exceptionally long time. As an investment, properties

Catella: Demand for residential property continues to rise in Germany

Ongoing strong demand for residential property in metropolitan areas, and in locations with favourable population balance, is underpinned by urbanization effects and structurally good economic conditions in Germany. The increasing appeal of residential markets will lead to higher rental prices and a rise in property values.In their current analysis of 77 investment locations for the residential segment, Catella’s analysts have come to a clear conclusion: investors will once again be willing to invest in 2016. The yield-risk profile for gross yields ranges from Herne at 8.2 %, to

Catella: Demand for office properties drives purchase prices in Germany

Strong demand for office properties – particularly from international investors in the top locations – means a further increase in purchase prices. “B” and “C” locations are also seeing this trend, in some cases with a delay. Rents are rising and yields continue to fall. However, the gap between the change in rents and purchase prices is becoming measurably bigger. Overall, office markets in 2016 promise a balanced risk-return profile.The analysis of 76 German office markets in the categories “A” to “D”, presented today by Catella, reveals a uniform picture: the persistent strong

Catella: Hype about German residential properties continues

A study entitled “Residential Market Ranking Germany 2015 – Regional residential markets under the spotlight” compiled by Catella shows an increasing international investor focus on regional residential markets in Germany.
