Catella Market Indicator, Spring 2024, has been published: Is the worst over in the real estate investment market?
The intense inflation that started in 2022, coupled with fast rise of interest rates, ultimately caused real estate transaction volume to collapse. We entered year 2023 with a very quiet market after the rapid increase in yields, and despite high hopes, the market did not show signs of recovery at any point. Last year’s transaction volume resulted in ca. EUR 2.5 billion, closely resembling the levels seen in the record weak years after the financial crisis.

The ground floor is fully rented to Lidl, while the four upper floors are vacant. Catella Real Estate AG (CREAG) acquired the property in 2011 for the Special Fund Catella Scandia Chances. Due to several trends affecting the office market, the property was sold as a development project. Slättö, on behalf of the Slättö Value Add II fund, plans to convert the property for hotel use.
