The development includes the 26,000 sq.m. underground parking facility which covers the demand for parking for the area. By&Havn and Agat Ejendomme owns the parking facility in a 50/50 owned development company and they are not long-term owners of the parking facility they decided to divest the property.
In great collaboration with Agat Ejendomme and By & Havn Catella has driven a structured sales process with a tremendous interest from investors all over the world. The interest came from various kind of investors, spanning from property companies, pension funds to specialized parking investors. Despite the great global interest, a local investor, Jeudan, was found to be the best owner of the parking facility. Jeudan is one of the leading property companies in Denmark and with significant presence at Amerika Plads coupled with parking facility experience, this asset was an obvious strategic investment for Jeudan.
We strongly appreciate the mandate given by Agat Ejendomme and By & Havn and would like to thank Jeudan for a highly professional and smooth process which has been beneficial for all parties involved. Lastly, we would like to thank Kromann Reumert for providing great M&A and real estate experience which have been a key factor for the successful transaction. At Catella we hope to be deeply involved in more similar transactions in the future as we strongly believe the market for parking facilities are evolving rapidly in the future.
