Kinland AS (“Kinland”) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement to acquire eleven Swedish preschool properties from Svenska Samhallsfastigheter AB with a gross property value of SEK 515 million (the “Transaction”). The majority of the assets are situated in the Greater Stockholm area, supported by favourable demographic trends. The portfolio carries a WAULT of approximately 11 years, with over 90% of leases secured by strong counterparties such as municipalities and Norlandia Preschools. Completion of the Transaction is scheduled to take place in January 2026.
Kinland is a leading owner of essential social infrastructure assets across the Nordic region and continental Europe. With the completion of the Transaction, Kinland has executed a total of 31 bolt-on acquisitions since being acquired by a consortium of institutional investors in October 2019.
Since 2019, Kinland’s management team has reinforced the company’s position as the foremost provider of government-backed social infrastructure within its core geographies. Following the Transaction, Kinland’s portfolio will comprise 414 properties, representing more than 130% growth in both number of units and gross property value since inception. In Sweden, the Transaction expands Kinland’s footprint from 20 to 31 properties, strengthening the company’s commitment to this key Nordic market.
“This bolt-on acquisition of high-quality social infrastructure properties in Sweden reinforces Kinland’s ambition to strengthen our role as a leading provider across the Nordics. By adding strategically located assets in urban and demographically attractive areas—core to our investment strategy—we further consolidate our position within the Nordic social infrastructure sector. Sweden is a compelling growth market with significant opportunities for expansion and consolidation, and we are excited to grow our footprint in this key Nordic market. With a strong pipeline, a substantial addressable market and the ability to leverage our expertise and financing capabilities, Kinland is well positioned to drive long-term value creation while delivering critical infrastructure that supports local communities.” said Benjamin Thorsen, CEO of Kinland.
