About PPI

Public Property Invest was established in 2021 by SBB and Arctic Securities with a long-term strategy of owning, operating, and developing socially beneficial property in Norway. Sustainable property management is an integral part of Public Property Invest's business.

Its portfolio of properties is characterized by strong tenants within the public sector, such as the police, judiciary functions and public health organizations, on long lease contracts and a high occupancy rate.

Public Property Invest's portfolio consists of more than 368,000 sqm across 61 properties which had an aggregate estimated value of around NOK 9,976 million as of 31 December 2023. It has more than 125 public tenants in 26 cities. Hundreds of subcontractors ensure that its tenants can fulfil their important societal missions every day.

In the medium to long term, Public Property Invest is expected to generate NOK 690 million in normalised run-rate rental income, of which public tenants constitute approximately 92 per cent. The company intends to be an active consolidator in the market. With a strong balance sheet, it pursues an opportunistic growth strategy.
