Oslo, 1 December 2025
Kinland AS (“Kinland”) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to acquire seven preschool properties in Finland from OP Public Services Real Estate Fund, with an agreed property value of EUR 24 million. The majority of the assets are located in the Greater Helsinki area, benefitting from strong demographic fundamentals. All properties hold EPC ratings of A or B, with most achieving the highest rating of A. The portfolio has a WAULT of approximately 10 years and is leased to one of the sector’s leading private operators. Closing of the transaction is expected on or around 18 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 as well as the separately announced acquisition of four Swedish social infrastructure properties, Kinland has executed a total of 28 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 383 properties, representing more than 110% growth in both number of units and gross property value since inception.
“This bolt‑on acquisition of high‑quality social infrastructure properties in Finland underscores Kinland’s ambition to strengthen our role as a leading provider across the Nordics. By adding strategically located assets in urban, demographically attractive areas—core to our investment strategy—we further consolidate our position within the Nordic social infrastructure sector, particularly in the preschool market. Finland has been our most important growth market in recent years and continues to present significant opportunities for expansion and consolidation. With the establishment of our Helsinki office in 2023 and a portfolio that soon surpasses 200 social infrastructure properties, we are pleased to further deepen our commitment to this market. Supported by a strong pipeline, a substantial addressable market and our ability to leverage 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.
