Catena is today taking possession of the Mappen 1 property in Linköping. The acquisition is being conducted as a property transaction at a value of SEK 68.1 million. The lettable area comprises more than 22,600 square metres. The site as a whole covers 110,000 square metres. The lease value of the property is slightly more than SEK 9 million with a remaining lease term of approximately two years and the property is almost fully leased. The development rights for the land are estimated at slightly more than 30,000 square metres, and the location, adjacent to Catena’s other two properties in the area, Mappen 3 and Mappen 4, provide opportunities for expansion. The Mappen 1 property is well situated on main road 35, close to both Linköping City Airport and the E4 motorway. The acquisition is being made using the Company’s own cash and bank balances.
“Alongside the new construction currently in progress at Mappen 4, Catena now has the opportunity to establish a major FMCG cluster in Linköping. The acquisition provides us with both economies of scale and the possibility of new construction in line with our ambitions for how Catena should grow,” comments Maths Carreman, Catena’s Regional Manager in Stockholm.
