Doughty Hanson & Co Real Estate is selling its office portfolio in Kista, Stockholm to DnB NOR Eiendomsfond I, a property fund managed by DnB NOR Markets, the largest financial services group in Norway, for SEK 2,920 million (€315 million, $460 million).
The sale is the first realisation from Doughty Hanson & Co Real Estate II, which was launched in the third quarter of 2005 and had a first close in November of that year on €166.5 million. The fund held its final close in December 2006 with commitments of €590 million.
