Kinland AS (“Kinland”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire seven social infrastructure properties in Finland from eQ Community Properties Fund with a total property value of EUR 29 million (the “Transaction”). The portfolio comprises three preschool facilities and four child protection units, with a WAULT of approximately 11 years. Completion of the Transaction is expected on or around 17 December 2025.
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 29 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 390 properties, representing approximately 120% growth in both number of units and gross property value since inception.
“This bolt-on acquisition of high-quality social infrastructure properties in Finland highlights Kinland’s ambition to reinforce our position as a leading provider across the Nordics. By adding modern assets with strong EPC ratings in regions with robust demographic outlooks—core to our investment strategy—we further consolidate our presence in the Nordic social infrastructure sector. Finland has been our most important growth market in recent years and continues to offer significant opportunities for expansion and consolidation. With the establishment of our Helsinki office in 2023 and a portfolio now exceeding 200 social infrastructure properties, we are pleased to deepen our commitment to this market. Backed by a strong pipeline, a substantial addressable market, and our ability to leverage expertise and financing capabilities, Kinland is well positioned to deliver long-term value creation while providing critical infrastructure that supports local communities.” said Benjamin Thorsen, CEO of Kinland.
