Castellum acquires classic office building in Helsinki

GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Castellum has today acquired a historic office building in Helsinki, located in one of the city's most dynamic developing areas. The acquisition price amounts to Eur 23,7 million including expenses of approximately Eur 0.7 million.

The acquisition regards Hämeentie 15, a historic and strategically located office property in the Sörnäinen district, where the post-industrial environment and creative atmosphere have made the area increasingly central, accessible and in high demand for offices and business premises.

It is also a short walk to the intensively developing Kalasatama and the properties that were part of our acquisition of the real estate company Lindström Invest in mid-November.
