OSLO, Norway—Starwood Capital has executed what might be among the largest Scandinavian real estate deal ever, worth $1.4 billion (NOK 11B). Colliers International co-advised on the Norwegian part of this deal.
The acquisition includes a collection of 27 properties in Norway, consisting of office (58% of the portfolio), retail (28%), logistics/industrial (9%), hotel (1%) and other (2%) assets totaling more than 2.3 million square feet (215,000 sm) of gross leasable area, as well as DNB NOR Eiendomsinvest I ASA's management platform.
"The economic fundamentals of this region are very solid, and population growth coupled with low vacancy rates makes this a very interesting market for Starwood Capital Group," said Zsolt Kohalmi, head of European acquisitions at Starwood Capital.
