Bent Oustad, CEO, says about the quarter:

“There is a high level of activity in the company and the underlying operations are going well. The company has, for the 5th quarter in a row, a positive net lease. In addition, it is satisfying to see that the company has access to new sources of funding. The proportion of green financing and bilateral loans has increased in the recent quarters.

The takeover of the 88,500 sqm Martin Linges vei 33 in Fornebu in the first quarter was done to protect our assets as a consequence of the default on debts to NPRO. The property's location, its qualities and the building's attractive tenants are in line with Norwegian Property's growth ambitions. Through the takeover, we are strengthening our presence in the defined core area of Fornebu. The property is now being transformed into a multi-tenant property. We are pleased that we have already signed approximately 4,000 sqm with NOV Process & Flow Technologies who will move in during Q4-24."
