KKR and Palm Capital to Acquire Prime Last-Mile Logistics Asset in Denmark
12.7.2024 14:30:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
KKR, a leading global investment firm, and Palm Capital, the pan-European real estate private equity specialist today announced the acquisition of a prime last-mile logistics asset in Greater Copenhagen, Denmark, from Catena, the Sweden-based leading logistics developer.
The park comprises 47,000 sqm of warehouse and office space and hosts long-term tenant Nemlig.com, the country’s largest provider of direct-to-consumer online food and grocery delivery. The logistics asset is located in Greater Copenhagen and surrounded by excellent infrastructure, uniquely positioned on the city’s new light rail system, which is due to be completed in 2025. In a supply-constrained industrial real estate market with strong growth potential, the asset offers significant upside with potential for further development, including additional warehouse facilities and various asset management initiatives such as energy and asset improvements together with the tenant.
Alexander Thams, Director and Head of Nordics Real Estate for KKR,said: “We are delighted to announce KKR’s acquisition of this prime last-mile logistics asset, building on our ambitions in Nordic real estate. Copenhagen is a highly competitive market, and it’s rare to find such quality assets in urban locations. The transaction is our second this year in Denmark and follows our recent investments in Finland and Sweden. Industrial and logistic assets remain central to KKR’s overall real estate strategy, particularly given the shortage of supply that has emerged due to the increasing number of industrial to residential conversions.”
Reda Khatim, Managing Partner of Palm Capital, said: “We are excited to strengthen our presence in Scandinavia through this attractive off market acquisition. We are delighted to build upon our successful track record in Copenhagen including through our previous ownership of last mile assets at Copenhagen’s airport. Additionally, this investment in Denmark demonstrates the increased breadth of our high conviction and thematic based investment strategies alongside major institutional partners such as KKR.”
The transaction builds on KKR’s strong track record in industrial real estate across Europe and is another example of KKR’s continued focus on the Nordic region, a key growth market for KKR’s European Real Estate platform. KKR’s recent Nordic Real Estate investments include the acquisition of a high-quality rental residential portfolio in Finland, a Purpose-Built Student Accommodation asset (PBSA) in Copenhagen, and a prime last-mile logistics property in Stockholm.
KKR is making the acquisition through its strategy focused on value-add and opportunistic real estate investments in Western Europe.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
