The acquisitions materially strengthen Kinland’s position as a leading pan-Nordic owner of government-backed social infrastructure and further diversify the platform across high-growth urban regions in Sweden and Finland. As a result of the transactions, Kinland will more than double its Swedish footprint, expanding from 15 to 34 properties, reinforcing its strategic focus on Greater Stockholm and other demographically attractive metropolitan areas.
Since being acquired in 2019 by a Patrizia-led consortium, Kinland has executed more than 30 bolt-on transactions and continues to build a diversified portfolio of essential social infrastructure across the Nordics and continental Europe. The recent completion of Kinland’s circa EUR 900 million refinancing has established a scalable, long-term financing platform, providing the capital flexibility required to execute this acquisition programme and support continued expansion across core Nordic markets.
Graham Matthews, Head of Fund Management Infrastructure at Patrizia and Chairman of the Board of Kinland, commented: “These acquisitions underline the scalability of the Kinland platform and the strong institutional appetite for high-quality social infrastructure driven by accelerating urbanisation. Expanding the portfolio to more than 420 assets across the Nordics further positions Kinland at the forefront of the convergence of real estate and infrastructure, where long-duration, community-critical assets generate both financial resilience and measurable societal impact.”
The acquired portfolios comprise modern, high-performing preschool and care assets with strong operational KPIs. Across the programme, the properties benefit from high occupancy levels, long-dated lease maturities of up to 15 years, predominantly structured on triple-net terms, and a significant concentration in the Greater Stockholm and Greater Helsinki regions, which continue to benefit from sustained population growth. Several of the assets are newly constructed and ESG-aligned, let to leading operators.
Benjamin Thorsen, CEO of Kinland, commented: “This programme of bolt-on acquisitions demonstrates Kinland’s ability to execute at scale and to deploy capital into assets with strong demographic fundamentals, high operational performance and long-term contractual visibility. By materially increasing our presence in Sweden and continuing to expand in Finland, we are reinforcing our position as a pan-Nordic leader in social infrastructure, with a portfolio that is both resilient and aligned with long-term societal demand.”
