HINES EXPANDS NORDIC INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM WITH SWEDISH PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION

Real estate investment manager Hines announced the acquisition of a significant industrial portfolio in Sweden on behalf of its Hines European Core Fund (HECF).

The transaction comprises eight assets located in prime submarkets across Gothenburg and Stockholm and represents Hines’ second industrial acquisition in Sweden following the firm’s entry into the Swedish market in 2024.

Totalling 70,500 sqm of net rentable area, the portfolio is strategically positioned near critical infrastructure, including the Port of Gothenburg and Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport. With a robust occupancy rate of 96 percent as of September 2025, the assets are underpinned by strong demand from tenants in the automotive, logistics, and telecommunications industries – sectors that tend to provide resilient cash flows and long-term growth potential.

Simone Pozzato, Fund Manager for HECF, said: “We believe that current pricing levels offer an attractive entry point to a market where we see very strong fundamentals. We are delighted to capitalise on these conditions with the Fund’s third acquisition in Sweden since the beginning of 2025.”

“This acquisition is an important portfolio addition for Hines in the Nordics,” added Staffan Unge, Head of the Nordics at Hines. “These assets not only strengthen our existing Nordic platform but also advance our long-term strategy of building scale in high-performing industrial locations across Europe, where we see strong potential for durable growth and value creation.”

Hines was advised by Lindahl, SEP, PwC and Croisette/Knight Frank. CBRE Sweden acted as the exclusive transaction advisor to the seller.
