A Pan-European retail fund managed by CBRE Global Investors has sold the Skanssi Shopping Centre to Swiss Life Asset Management, in collaboration with its local partner Trevian Asset Management. The centre is located just five kilometres from downtown Turku, along the busy Turku-Helsinki freeway.
Skanssi’s a total area is approximately 37,000 m², with around 34,000 m² allocated to retail space. The shopping centre features a broad selection of stores focused on fashion, home décor, and leisure, alongside essential services such as a citizen service point, a variety of restaurants, and the K-Citymarket hypermarket, which serves as the anchor tenant.
Skanssi is situated in one of Turku’s growing residential areas, making it a vital commercial and community hub for both existing and new residents. The area continues to attract development and population growth, strengthening Skanssi’s role as a central service point for the neighbourhood. The centre is also noted for its strong environmental credentials, having achieved LEED Platinum certification.
Skanssi was originally developed by Hartela, which sold the project during the construction phase to CapMan Real Estate. CapMan completed the development and opened the centre in 2009. The property was later acquired in 2017 by the CBRE Global Investors-managed fund.
