Finland Figures Industrial & Logistics Q4 2024

During the last quarter of 2024, the I&L sector concluded the year with an investment volume of €175 million, representing 25% of the total investment. A slight majority of this investment (51%) came from international investors, while 26% was concentrated in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA). In 2024, the I&L sector had the highest share of investment volume across all sectors, accounting for 27% of the total volume, marking a 9% increase in volume from the previous year.

The prime yield remained stable throughout 2024, but yields are expected to begin compressing in 2025 as the availability of financing and decreasing interest rates boost investor demand. Multiple active investors are looking to deploy capital into the Finnish I&L market.

Notable transactions in the last quarter included Swiss Life’s acquisition of the Ahlsell logistics warehouse and distribution center in Hyvinkää from Savills, as well as Alea Partners and Alma Property Partners’ purchase of two light industrial assets in Vantaa.
