Kinland is a leading owner of essential social infrastructure assets across the Nordic region and continental Europe. With the transaction, Kinland has executed 30 bolt on acquisitions since being acquired by a consortium of institutional investors in October 2019.

 

Since 2019, Kinland’s management team has strengthened the company’s position as the foremost provider of government backed social infrastructure within its core geographies. Following the transaction, Kinland’s portfolio will comprise 403 properties, representing approximately 130 percent growth in both number of units and gross property value since inception.

“This acquisition of high quality social infrastructure properties in Finland underscores Kinland’s ambition to reinforce our role as a leading provider across the Nordics. By adding assets with strong operational KPIs in demographically attractive areas – core to our investment strategy – we further consolidate our position within the Nordic social infrastructure sector, particularly in the preschool market. Finland has been our most important growth market in recent years and continues to present significant opportunities for expansion and consolidation. With the establishment of our Helsinki office in 2023 and a portfolio of more than 200 social infrastructure properties, we are pleased to deepen our commitment to this market. Supported by a strong pipeline, a substantial addressable market, and our ability to leverage expertise and financing capabilities, Kinland is well positioned to drive long term value creation while delivering critical infrastructure that supports local communities,” says Benjamin Thorsen, CEO of Kinland.
