In total, the fund now owns more than 1,6 millions sqm in the Nordic countries, which makes Logicenters the leading provider of modern logistics properties in the region.<\/p>\n
Logicenters\u2019s strategy is to acquire, own and develop high quality logistics properties in important locations and nodes in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. A strategy that shows good results since the last six months were characterized by new acquisitions, tenants and development projects at strategic locations such as Arlanda, J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, Odense and H\u00e4meenlinna.<\/p>\n
