CapMan Real Estate’s Red Warehouse is completed, welcoming BCG Denmark into their new distinctive office space

CapMan Real Estate has finalised the rebuild of Red Warehouse, transforming the 140-year-old building from warehouse and workshop to modern distinctive office space. The buildings sole tenant, Boston Consulting Group Denmark (BCG), who has been a vital partner throughout the rebuild, started their move-in process on 1^st September.

The finalized space plays homage to the building’s history, showcasing state-of-the-art interior design which successfully combines the qualities of the original building from 1883 and merges them with new design solutions that ensure a unique design. The office space covers 6,000 sqm over three floors in addition to a basement space of 4,600 sqm which was converted to hold a gym as well as well as a large TED-like audience presentation room. The building is topped off by a 700m2 rooftop terrace and bar with space to do outside sport with views across the city.

The project has been in progress since 2019, and all details of the house are exclusively designed, featuring numerous artistic elements such as the central staircase. The house, in general, has been completed with a high level of fit-out.

”From the start, we knew this project was going to be a special. Performing such a comprehensive renovation in a historical building like this, holds huge opportunities but also its challenges. The results we see today are a direct result of a tight collaboration between professionals who all played an important part in this. I especially want to thank Steen Niebling from SN Consult, Mikkel Westfall, Natasja Cornelius and team at Act Architects, Ulrik Larsen from REVCO, and SWECO, and BCG for working with us on this memorable project”, says Peter Gill, Partner, Head of CapMan Real Estate Denmark.

“We are thrilled to move into our new premises. The results speak for themselves. Our objective was to establish a unique domicile for our valued employees to give them the best circumstances to excel. Throughout this project, in collaboration with CapMan, SN Consult, Act Architects, BRIQ, REVCO, and SWECO, we have devised solutions that we firmly believe will significantly enhance and elevate the office experience for our employees. The Red Warehouse stands as our new inspiring office that fosters a vibrant community where we solve the biggest problems,” shares Ulrik Sanders, Managing Director & Senior Partner at BCG.

CapMan Nordic Real Estate II fund acquired Red Warehouse in 2019. In 2022 the fund signed BCG on a long-term lease for the refurbished office and sold the asset to German family-owned THI Investments in a forward purchase, where construction was agreed to continue with takeover later in 2023.

CapMan Real Estate manages approximately €4.2 billion in real estate assets and the Real Estate Team comprises over 65 real estate professionals located in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and London.

• Approximately $350 million investment expected to create more than 1,300 jobs during construction period, 400 permanent jobs and contribute $6.4 billion to the local economy over the next 30 years

• Project to add several public amenities, including new public restrooms for Hudson River Park, an 1,850 square foot community amenity space, 25,000 square feet of waterfront open space and pier access, and safety improvements to the bikeway

New York & Los Angeles – August 29, 2023 – Today, Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO), Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE: HPP), Blackstone (NYSE: BX), the City of New York, and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) announced they have entered into Manhattan’s first public-private partnership venture to build a purpose-built studio campus at Pier 94. Vornado, who contributed its long-term leasehold for Pier 94 to the venture, will own 49.9%; Hudson Pacific will own 25.6%; and Blackstone’s institutional Core+ Real Estate strategy will own 24.5%. Vornado will be responsible for development and Hudson Pacific will provide design oversight and manage the facility’s leasing and operations.

Sunset Pier 94 Studios will be a first-of-its-kind space, home to both state-of-the-art film and production technology that will make New York City even more competitive with other comparable markets, as well as impressive amenities for all New Yorkers including new public restrooms for Hudson River Park, an 1,850-square-foot community amenity space, 25,000 square feet of waterfront open space and pier access, and safety improvements to the bikeway. There will also be a program to support workforce development and training programs to connect local residents to opportunities in film, television, commercial and other media production.

The project represents a total investment of approximately $350 million from Vornado, Hudson Pacific and Blackstone, and is expected to create more than 1,300 construction jobs, 400 permanent jobs and contribute $6.4 billion to the local economy over the next 30 years. Construction will begin in third quarter 2023, utilizing $183 million in construction financing led by RBC, and delivery of the project is expected by year-end 2025.

“Our partnership with Blackstone, Hudson Pacific, and the City of New York will solidify New York as a leading market for content production and studio space, create jobs, drive economic momentum, and deliver a host of amenities to the surrounding community,” said Michael Franco, President and Chief Financial Officer at Vornado Realty Trust. “Together we’ll raise the bar for one of New York City’s signature industries and breathe new life into a key waterfront site.”

“We are thrilled to partner with the City of New York, Vornado, and Blackstone to bring this unparalleled, ideally located production experience to New York. The city has an extensive, well-established production infrastructure yet is highly supply constrained in terms of stages,” said Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Hudson Pacific. “Once again we are leveraging our industry relationships and unique expertise in building and operating premier facilities for leading content creators in the highest-barrier-to-entry global media markets to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

“Content creation is one of our key global investment themes, and we are thrilled to be part of this one-of-a-kind, public-private partnership that delivers for our investors while aiming to create more than 1,300 construction jobs and 400 permanent jobs, and contribute $6.4 billion over the next 30 years to the local New York City economy. I want to thank the City of New York, Mayor Eric Adams, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation for helping make this project possible,” said Nadeem Meghji, Blackstone’s Head of Real Estate Americas.

“With our administration’s leadership, New York City is back – we have recovered 99 percent of the jobs lost during the pandemic, and visitors from across the world are returning to Broadway and Times Square,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “At the same time, from Willets Points in Queens to Kips Bay in Manhattan to Kingsbridge Heights in the Bronx, we are advancing bold economic development projects across the entire city that will create tens of thousands of family-sustaining jobs in our communities, and the activation of Pier 94 will produce the same kinds of economic opportunities on the West Side of Manhattan. This project will bring critical, long-awaited investment to this public asset, turn an underutilized space into an economic driver, and improve public space and quality of life for New Yorkers.”

“Transforming Pier 94 into a world-class film and television production studio delivers multiple goals that are key to our continued recovery: economic development, local job creation, and public realm improvements,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development and Workforce Maria Torres-Springer. “This partnership between NYCEDC, Vornado, Hudson Pacific, and Blackstone will quickly revitalize this key waterfront asset and fortify our position as the capital of film and media.”

“Sunset Pier 94 Studios demonstrates a monumental public-private partnership that will have a lasting impact on our city by creating 400 film and TV jobs, over 1,300 construction jobs, along with an estimated economic impact of $6.4 billion over the next 30 years,” said New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President & CEO Andrew Kimball. “NYCEDC and our partners in this project look forward to the development and completion of the pier space – including significant improvements to the public realm and waterfront access on the west side of Manhattan that all New Yorkers will be able to enjoy. This project further advances NYCEDC’s mission of transforming New York City into a great place to live, work, do business, and play.”

Pier 94 will cement New York City as one of the preeminent places for the film and television industry to film while also contributing to the needs of the local community. Plans for the 266,000-square-foot Sunset Pier 94 Studios include six purpose-built soundstages with production control room facilities and 145,000 square feet of production support space and offices, with stunning Hudson River views and ample on-site parking. Several stages will have technological infrastructure for adaptation to virtual production. The facility’s location, design, size and technological capabilities will provide world-class convenience and flexibility for episodic television, live audience television and feature films. In alignment with the broader Sunset Studios portfolio, Sunset Pier 94 Studios will prioritize sustainability, targeting LEED Gold and Fitwel certification, with plans for operations to be powered by 100% renewable energy.

The new facility will be the first New York location for Hudson Pacific and Blackstone’s growing studio platform and synergistic with its existing Los Angeles operations. With the addition of Sunset Pier 94 Studios, Sunset Studios will comprise 69 existing and planned stages globally across six purpose-built facilities, all in top-tier locations within the well-established and supply constrained production epicenters of Los Angeles, London and New York. Hudson Pacific’s Quixote brand operates an additional 26 stages in Los Angeles and New Orleans and services productions in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, New Orleans and Albuquerque.

SAO PAULO, August 17, 2023 – GIC, a global institutional investor, in partnership with Barzel Properties, a leading real estate management and development firm, has completed the acquisition of five distribution centers and four retail stores through a sale-leaseback contract with Carrefour Brazil Group in a transaction valued at approximately R$1.2 billion.

The transaction is supported by a 20-year renewable lease contract with Carrefour Brazil Group, a leading Brazilian retail and private employer. Under this contract, Barzel Properties will ensure a stable, long-term revenue stream through a rental agreement, adjusted annually for inflation.

“We are thrilled to complete the acquisition of nine of Carrefour Brazil Group’s assets alongside our strategic partner, Barzel Properties,” said Lee Kok Sun, Chief Investment Officer of Real Estate, GIC. “GIC is confident in the portfolio’s long-term potential in Brazil, which is underscored by the stores’ strong operational performance and warehouses’ strategic locations in major logistics markets.”

“Despite uncertainties in the global macroeconomic environment, this transaction serves as a testament to GIC’s confidence in top-tier assets backed by robust companies with good credit ratings,” said Adam Gallistel, Head of Americas Real Estate, GIC. “In Brazil, we have been continuously exploring sale-leaseback opportunities underpinned by long-term contracts and companies with solid and growing operations, such as Carrefour Brazil Group.”

“We are immensely pleased to strengthen our partnership with GIC through this exceptionally promising transaction,” said Nessim Daniel Sarfati, CEO of Barzel Properties. “The strategic locations of these assets combined with Carrefour Brazil Group’s robust operational track record and the 20-year lease contract will provide a stable and reliable rent income stream. We have high confidence in the future potential of the acquired assets.”

FLORENCE, Italy – 25^th July 2023 – Real estate investor and fund manager Cromwell Property Group and Bain Capital Special Situations, a leading global special situations investor with experience supporting differentiated real estate platforms, have acquired a new plot of land for development of two modern grade A logistics warehouses in the greater Florence area, adding to their growing portfolio in Italy.

Part of a series of planned developments by the two firms, this latest acquisition confirms their conviction in the Italian logistics market and their intention to continue taking advantage of the shortage in supply of logistics assets across Italy.

Designed to meet all modern grade A logistics standards, and with the flexibility to accommodate up to four occupiers, the two assets will be developed on a 155,000 square-meter plot of land in Lari, an industrial and logistics cluster strategically located along the motorway connecting Livorno commercial harbour and Florence (just 35 mins from the A1 tollgate). The area is an established logistics hub that is home to many well-known logistics operators, including Amazon, SDA Express Courier, Fercam, Ceva Logistics, STEF, Arco Spedizioni, DB Schenker, as well as international giants DSV, LIDL, DS Smith, Gucci, Fendi and Piaggio.

The site is a three-minute drive from a major junction with the Fi-Pi-Li motorway, a fast route crossing Tuscany that connects Florence, Livorno and Pisa, the main cities in the region. The catchment area is home to one million people within a 20-minute drive, increasing to two million within a 60-minute drive.

Cromwell has already received preliminary interest to lease more than three times the expected gross lettable area and expects to have most of the assets let by the start of construction in September 2023.

All future assets in the strategy will be developed to grade A logistics standards incorporating modern technical specifications and will target the LEED Gold certification. Innovative and alternative construction techniques and materials will be considered in order to lessen the environmental impact of construction and enable ongoing energy efficiency, carbon and cost savings.

Lorenzo Caroleo, Cromwell’s Head of Italy said:

“This acquisition not only highlights our commitment to the logistics sector in Italy, but also demonstrates our commitment to ESG and willingness to invest across the country in locations where the assets and local submarkets align with our investment strategy. So far, we’ve acquired assets in northern, southern and now central Italy.

“With construction due to start in September, these warehouses will be ready to accept tenants in 2024 and we are already in discussions with several potential occupiers, keen to take advantage of the modern, efficient and flexible warehouse space we are providing.

“This is our second such acquisition in a few months, despite the macro uncertainty and challenging financing conditions, with more to come as we press ahead with our pipeline of opportunities and additional land plots to be developed in the near future.”

Rafael Coste Campos, a Managing Director at Bain Capital Special Situations added:

“We like to invest in hard-to-access real estate sectors, underpinned by enduring secular trends that drive long-term demand. By partnering with Cromwell, with its experienced on-the-ground Italian team and in-house development capabilities, we have identified a deep dislocation between the supply of modern logistics facilities and the demand from occupiers across the region. We look forward to working with them on this mandate.”

This redevelopment project is Ardian’s first investment in the residential sector and will see the building refurbished to the highest design and sustainability standards.

Singapore/Tokyo, 20 July 2023 – GIC, a leading global investment firm, announces that it will acquire a logistics facility in Yatomi city, part of the Greater Nagoya metropolitan area. The asset is well‐located in a logistics hub near a major expressway and provides convenient access to the Nagoya central business district and other surrounding regions.

The warehouse was developed and completed in 2022 by Daiwa House Industry, a top class Japanese real estate developer engaged in various asset classes including logistics, residential, office, and retail. As a young and modern asset, the facility is attractive to a wide range of tenants serving both the regional local and regional areas.

Transaction is KKR’s second in the Nordics this year via its Core+ Real Estate strategy

Stockholm, 5 July 2023 – KKR and Mirastar, KKR Real Estate’s industrial and logistics platform in Europe, have acquired a high-quality last-mile logistics property in Stockholm. This off-market acquisition is the first in Sweden for KKR and Mirastar, and the second in the Nordics this year for KKR through its European Core+ Real Estate strategy, following the acquisition of a residential portfolio in Finland in May.

The c.12,500 sqm new build has been developed to modern functional specifications with strong ESG credentials, and will be acquired with a partial pre-let to Adelphos Healthcare AB, a developer and marketer of healthcare products. The building is situated in Botkyrka, a prime location in southwest Stockholm, benefiting from close access to the E4 and E20 highways with an approximately 30-minute drive to the city centre. The significant transport links make this a strong base for businesses supplying Stockholm, while also connecting Sweden’s capital city to the south of the country.

Anthony Butler, CIO and Co-Founder at Mirastar, said: “To buy a new build of this quality in such a sought-after and supply-constrained location is a rarity in Stockholm. We are delighted to be entering Sweden with an acquisition that aligns so closely with our regional strategy, and we look forward to building out our presence across the Nordic region.”

Alexander Thams, Director and Head of Nordics Real Estate at KKR, added: “Last mile logistics is a key sub-sector in KKR’s European real estate strategy. The rapid expansion of e-commerce continues to drive occupier demand, further enhanced by the re-shoring of supply chains becoming a higher priority for businesses. We will look to rapidly grow our industrial and logistics portfolio in the Nordics alongside Mirastar over the coming years, in line with our Europe-wide focus on this sector.”

Ian Williamson, Managing Director and Head of Core+ Real Estate in Europe at KKR, commented: “This acquisition in Sweden is a great fit for our pan-European Core+ platform in Europe, which focuses on investing in high quality, substantially stabilised assets with medium to long-term value growth potential. Logistics is a key theme within this strategy, as is investing in western and northern Europe including the Nordics where we are seeing sustained demand from operators for well-located grade-A logistics space.”

KKR has an established track record in the Nordic region, having invested over €6bn in equity since 2007 and strengthening its presence and growth ambitions in the region with the opening of a new office in Stockholm in June 2021. Recent investments in the region include Söderberg & Partners, Sector Alarm, Wolt, Nordic Bioscience, Caruna, Avida and a residential real estate joint venture in Denmark.

The properties were acquired through forward-purchase agreements by KKR Real Estate Partners Europe II Fund and were constructed in two phases by Commercial Development Projects Ltd throughout 2022. The assets were developed with a strong environmental focus, resulting in BREEAM “Excellent” certification and EPC “A” ratings.

This transaction is a great validation of our strategy with Mirastar to develop well-located logistics properties with state-of-the-art physical features that are in-demand across market environments.
