Keva and Axiom Advisors Oy have founded a new real estate investment company, Selena Kiinteistöt Ky, which will take over 18 office properties currently owned by Keva. The portfolio covers a leasable area of approximately 182,000 square meters, consisting of assets located primarily in the Helsinki metropolitan area, with additional properties in Tampere, Turku, Vaasa, and Kuopio. According to market sources, the portfolio includes only assets outside Helsinki CBD.
“Through this joint venture, we can develop the properties even more effectively in a changing market environment. Axiom Advisors Oy’s strong expertise in developing precisely this type of property supports our goal of increasing the occupancy rate, improving net returns, and ensuring the competitiveness of the properties in the future,” says Carl-Henrik Roselius, Head of Real Estate Investments at Keva.
Starting in November, Axiom Advisors Oy will assume responsibility for managing Selena Kiinteistöt Ky’s property portfolio, customer acquisition, and property development. The company will be led by Petteri Säntti, Partner at Axiom Advisors Oy.
In the summer, Axiom recruited multiple professionals for roles such as asset management and technical management, indicating upcoming new assignments and a strengthening of its operational capacity.
Keva has been actively driving its portfolio towards indirect ownership structures. Together with Mrec Investment Management, it established Logian, a company focusing on logistics properties. A Light Industrial joint venture was formed with Aktiivitilat, and in the residential sector, Keva invests in rental apartments in cooperation with Taaleri.
