KMC Properties ASA, a real estate company focusing on industrial and logistic properties, recorded rental income of NOK 96 million for the first quarter of 2023, up from NOK 63 million for the first quarter last year, primarily driven by additional income from new investment properties and CPI and contract adjustments.

We continued the work to integrate the properties recently acquired and progressed an important project on energy labelling.
