Citycon has agreed to acquire the 31% minority stakes in Storbyen and Sjøsiden shopping centres in the Oslo region and Oasen shopping centre in Bergen for an equity consideration of approx. EUR 31 million (approx. NOK 290 million) from 4 minority shareholders. Citycon already owned the 69% majority share in these shopping centres, which were part of the Sektor Gruppen acquisition in July 2015.
“The portfolio is in line with our focus on necessity-based shopping centres in urban locations. Full ownership will allow for more efficient administration and we see value-add potential in all the properties through further asset management initiatives”, says Nils Styf, Citycon’s Chief Investment Officer.
