The ownership of the Skanssi shopping center in Turku, Finland, has changed. The new owner is a group of investors whereby a fund managed by Swiss Life Asset Managers in the Nordics is the largest owner. Swiss life Asset Managers is a leading institutional real estate investor in Europe. Trevian Asset Management Oy will act as the operating partner, responsible for the shopping center’s commercial management and development.

Trevian played a key buy-side advisory role for Swiss Life Asset Managers during the transaction and remains heavily involved as an investor and operating partner. The collaboration between Trevian and Swiss Life Asset Managers unlocks exciting business opportunities for Skanssi, positioning the shopping center to adapt to evolving customer demands and commercial needs.

– We are thrilled about this transaction. With Skanssi, we can strengthen our presence in Southwestern Finland. Skanssi offers a prime location, a diverse customer base, and is in excellent technical condition. We see great potential to further enhance Skanssi’s role as a dynamic shopping and business hub in the Turku region. We are also committed to advancing the shopping center’s ESG initiatives, says Trevian’s Head of Retail Team, Anni Tenhunen.

Trevian, known for its expertise in managing shopping centers across Finland, will oversee shopping center management at Skanssi. The company’s approach is based on active local partnerships.

– Skanssi’s commercial development will focus on strengthening the tenant mix, fostering tenant relationships, and refining the overall user experience, says Trevian’s Kiia Hynnä, responsible for Skanssi’s commercial development and retail space leasing.

– This acquisition symbolizes Swiss Life Asset Managers’ goal to further grow in Finland across all property segments, as we continue to look for more investment opportunities in the Finnish market in the near future, adds Kristian Korbu, Senior Transaction Manager at Swiss Life Asset Managers, Nordic.
