COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Urban Partners鈥� real estate arm, Nrep, together with StepStone AG真人官方 Estate (鈥淪RE鈥�), the real estate arm of private markets investment firm StepStone Group (Nasdaq: STEP), are pleased to announce the sale of a portfolio of five grocery-anchored retail properties and two adjacent residential properties in Greater Copenhagen. The portfolio is being acquired by a joint venture between Slate Asset Management (鈥淪late鈥� or the 鈥淔irm鈥�), a global investor and manager focused on essential real estate and infrastructure assets, and OneIM, a global alternative investment manager that invests across the capital structure in a range of asset classes.

OneIM is Slate鈥檚 capital partner in the transaction, which is the first for Slate and OneIM鈥檚 joint venture. The joint venture is actively targeting further acquisitions across the European essential retail sector. The acquisition marks Slate鈥檚 first investment in Denmark and further increases the Firm鈥檚 portfolio of high-quality essential real estate assets in Europe.

All of the properties in the portfolio are in dense residential areas (Holte Midtpunkt, Lyngby Stationscenter, Frihedens Butikscenter, Vallensb忙k Stationstorv Syd, and Taastrup Torv) and near the city鈥檚 five major transportation corridors. During its ownership, Nrep led a comprehensive repositioning of the properties, transforming them into vibrant urban hubs with best-in-class sustainability credentials. Customer footfall has increased due to the addition of new tenants, including unique concept stores, diverse food and beverage offerings, and medical clinics. The introduction of new concepts and general renovations have also contributed to more efficient customer and tenant journeys, boosting turnover and activity in the surrounding areas.

Today, the properties in the portfolio are let to leading regional grocers as well as some of Europe鈥檚 largest and best-performing retail chains. The portfolio is well-occupied, with immediate upside potential through leasing of remaining vacancies and continued active management of the portfolio.

鈥淲e are pleased to be scaling our presence in the Nordics with this strategic acquisition in Denmark,鈥� said Sven Vollenbruch, Managing Director at Slate. 鈥淲e have great conviction in the tailwinds driving growth in the Danish market, which has consistently outperformed the broader Eurozone across a number of key macroeconomic indicators. This portfolio presents an attractive entry point for us in this market given it is anchored by leading essential goods tenants 鈥� many of whom we already have well-established relationships with 鈥� and presents meaningful opportunities to unlock additional value through active, hands-on asset management.鈥�

鈥淭his transaction epitomises our investment strategy,鈥� said Thomas Riise-Jakobsen, partner and country manager for Denmark at Nrep. 鈥淭he properties are in attractive locations with reliable occupancy and offer significant ESG potential. They sit at the intersection of best-in-class development and the green transition, which is Nrep鈥檚 absolute sweet spot. We are proud of the work we have done to enhance the portfolio - renovating, repositioning and elevating the centers and their surrounding communities - while delivering strong returns to our investors. With Slate Asset Management taking over, I have no doubt they will capitalise on the progress to date to elevate the properties further.鈥�

Josh Cleveland, Partner and Head of EMEA at SRE added: 鈥淣rep has been an important partner of ours in the Nordics and the opportunity to form a continuation vehicle with them to invest in these strong necessity-based retail and residential assets was an attractive investment opportunity for us.鈥�

Nrep has continuously renovated and upgraded the individual properties while strengthening the tenant mix. The projects have included local planning initiatives and the potential for 100 new residential units at Taastrup Torv. In Vallensb忙k and Friheden alone, over 16,000 square meters of residential space have been created.

Slate maintains a distinct focus on essential real estate, concentrating on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of assets vital to daily life, including grocery, necessity-based retail centers, and the logistics infrastructure that supports the distribution of food and other non-discretionary goods. Since entering the European market in 2016, Slate has been an active investor, completing transactions on more than 1,000 commercial properties across eight countries.

Schj酶dt, Thylander, COWI, and PwC supported Slate in the transaction, while CBRE, Bruun & Hjejle, and Deloitte advised Nrep.
