CapMan Real Estate acquires modern office property in Oslo from KLP Eiendom

Brynsalléen 2 is a 17,600 sqm office property located in Helsfyr/Bryn, one of the main office submarkets in Oslo. The property benefits from great access to public transport as well as the E6 motorway and Oslo circle road ring 3.

The 10-storey property developed in 1999 is fully let to Atea who has announced a future relocation in 2020. As such, the purchase of Brynsalléen 2 is a value-add scheme centrally located in an area scheduled for significant development over the coming years, with plans to create a vibrant urban floor in combination with significant residential development.

“We are very excited about the purchase of this property. The entire Helsfyr/Bryn area is going through a significant revitalisation and we see an excellent value add opportunity to upgrade the property for new tenants following Atea’s relocation,” comments Magnus Berglund, Investment Director at CapMan Real Estate.

Akershus Eiendom acted as the sell-side advisor for KLP Eiendom, while Albaran acted as legal advisors. CapMan appointed CLP as the buy-side legal advisor.
