The first property transaction of the year
Balder has kicked off the year with the acquisition of eight modern warehouse and production properties. These highly energy‑efficient assets are located mainly in areas already familiar to us across Finland. The Helsinki metropolitan area was further strengthened with two new properties in this segment.
The properties are occupied by single users, and current tenants include well‑known operators such as Euromaster, Ahlsell and Doka.
The transaction reinforces Balder’s position as an owner of high‑quality warehouse properties in Finland.
Seinäjoki Logistics Centre Transferred to Balder’s Ownership
Balder has acquired a modern and versatile logistics property of approximately 11,000 m² in Seinäjoki. The property’s tenants include Huhtala Logistics Oy, Kesko Oyj and HalpaHalli Oy.
The site has been developed with a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, utilising geothermal heating as the main heating method and recovering waste heat from the refrigeration systems. Charging stations have also been installed in the yard area for delivery vans and heavy vehicles.
The location of the property serves exceptionally well for the storage, distribution and transportation of food, parcels and other goods.
“We are pleased that Balder has become the owner of our logistics properties. We can now focus on the long-term development of our business, taking into account sustainability aspects and the future needs of our customers. The charging infrastructure invested in by Kesko strongly supports the transition towards low‑carbon transport solutions. From the beginning of the year, we will be able to provide completely carbon‑free transport on the Seinäjoki–Vaasa–Kokkola route as we introduce our first fully electric, full‑trailer combination truck,” says Tero Mattila, CEO of Huhtala Logistics Oy.
