- Catena is growing through project development, both by establishing new strategic logistic positions and by refining and developing existing properties. With our 110 logistic facilities, we perceive continuous potential to adapt and refine the conditions of each property, says Benny Thögersen, CEO at Catena.

- The remaining investment volume in our ongoing project portfolio is SEK 600 million in new and existing properties and we are experiencing pressure from continued high demand. The market conditions for logistics space are good, and this is evident in the disscussions we are conducting, says Benny Thögersen, CEO at Catena.
