"We are very pleased with the transactions completed during the quarter, where long lease agreements with strong tenants generate stable cash flows and strengthen our average lease duration. At the same time, there is significant value-creation potential-both in the new acquisitions and in the existing portfolio-offering further opportunities for long-term value growth. The conditions for continuing to acquire logistics properties with development potential remain excellent. We have strong acquisition capacity and an active acquisition strategy, continuously evaluating potential transactions where we see opportunities to create long-term value," comments Tommy Åstrand, CEO of SLP.
