The tenant in the newly built logistics facilities is a subsidiary of the international DSV Group, which offers transport and logistics solutions and has operations in over 80 countries.

The purchase price for the shares amounts to approximately DKK 698 million after deduction of deferred taxes and the acquisition is financed with own funds and external credit. DSV Road A/S is signing a 14-year lease in connection with the transaction.

The property in question, Mossvej 27-29, is located in a well-established logistics area in, very well connected to E45 being one of the two most important highways in Denmark.

The property will be certified to DGNB, whereas the warehouse will certify for DGNB Silver and the office for DGNB Gold. The roofs features large solar cell plants installed by the seller with a total capacity of 35 MWp annually. This, combined with other energy solutions, makes the entire facility self-sufficient.
