JLL advised eQ on the sale of 17 healthcare properties to Nrep
eQ Community Properties Fund has sold a portfolio of 17 healthcare properties to Nrep.
The purchase price of the portfolio is approximately EUR 100 million. The assets are leased to market leading private tenants and are located in Helsinki area and in large cities. The portfolio has a total leasable area of ca. 29,000 sq m.
Jennifer Eloheimo, Investment Director, eQ Community Properties Fund: “This is already our second major transaction this fall and a great indication that the community property segment remains to be interesting. After the transaction, nearly 70% of the 103 assets owned by eQ Community Properties Fund are located in Helsinki Metropolitan area and Tampere and the rest primarily in university towns. Over 66% of the lettable area is leased to public counterparties and, with the transaction, the Fund further strengthens its position as a partner for the public sector. Nrep, as a buyer, is a respected player and a great addition as owner of care home properties. We want to thank JLL and Avance for their great work during the autumn!”
Joonas Lemström, Country head, Finland, Nrep: “Urbanization is driving change also in the care segment and the significance of accessibility and quality of service will become more important. We want to be a part of the solution to challenges posed by increasing amount of ageing population in Finland and other Nordic countries. Modern premises and care properties that are designed to fulfil people’s needs create great grounds for an environment that promotes well-being.”
Antti Pelli, Senior Director, Capital Markets, JLL Finland: “We are thrilled to complete yet another landmark transaction with eQ. This deal continues to demonstrate the robust demand for healthcare assets, and that underlying fundamentals continue to support the asset class. The transaction is one of the biggest of 2023 in Finland in any asset class and I’m extremely proud of JLL’s unrivalled track record in the Healthcare segment. We want to thank and congratulate eQ and Nrep for a successful transaction.”
