Citycon has sold Åkermyntan in Stockholm, Sweden to Artmax AB. In addition, Citycon has sold adjacent residential building rights to a Swedish property developer.

The transaction was closed on 31 March 2018.

“This divestment of Åkermyntan is a natural step in our strategy to refine our Nordic portfolio and focus on larger grocery-anchored shopping centres in urban crosspoints. We will use the proceeds from the divestment to strengthen our balance sheet and to fund our development pipeline,” says Tom Lisiecki, Chief Development Officer at Citycon.
