JLL advises S-Bank in the sale of a residential development property in Espoo
A residential property fund S-Bank Housing non-UCITS Fund, managed by S-Bank Fund Management Ltd, has sold a residential development property to SRV Rakennus Oy.
The property locates in Niittykumpu, Espoo, near the subway station and excellent daily services. The development property enables a construction of non-subsidized residential asset of some 4,000 sq m of leasable area.
Juho Santaharju, Fund manager, S-Bank: “We are pleased with the transaction and would like to thank SRV for the seamless cooperation under challenging market conditions, as well as JLL for their outstanding project management.”
Jorma Seppä, Senior Vice President, Housing in the Helsinki Metropolitan area, SRV: “SRV's goal is to increase the share of housing construction in turnover to the level of 30-40%, and the completed transaction is yet another step towards the goal of increasing housing construction according to our strategy. SRV has been strongly developing the Niittykumpu residential area. We currently have Niittykummun Neuvokas in pre-marketing in Niittykumpu, and we are also currently building 128 residential units for Varma in the same block.”
Olli Peltomäki, Director, JLL Finland: "We are pleased to have successfully advised S-Bank in this sale. The residential development market, especially the non-subsidized residential segment, has been struggling the past few years, resulting in a small number of development property transactions and consequent construction starts. This transaction is yet another indication of new development picking up the pace, one project at a time.”
JLL acted as S-Bank’s sole commercial advisor in the transaction. Valu Partners Attorneys acted as the seller’s legal advisor.
