"In the second quarter 2024, KMC Properties completed all announced property transactions and reached a gross asset value of NOK 6.9 billion. By combining with Logistea, the total property portfolio will be NOK 13.2 billion, and the new company formed in Logistea AB will be able to accelerate accretive growth beyond what two could achieve individually," says Stig Wærnes, CEO of KMC Properties. In 2020, KMC Properties listed through a cost- and time effective reverse takeover. The strategic move led to the creation of an Oslo Børs listed real estate company with a NOK 3.1 billion logistics and industrial property portfolio. Since then, the company has executed its ambitious growth strategy and more than doubled its property portfolio through value-accretive acquisitions supported successful private placements. KMC Properties ASA will, following the transaction with Logistea, pursue new opportunities with a different profile. The entity will remain listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with Stig Wærnes as CEO.
