Finland Figures Industrial & Logistics Q1 2026

The industrial and logistics (I&L) sector saw a very strong start to 2026, with Q1 volume reaching €604 million, the strongest quarter since 2017 and exceeding full-year 2025 volume. Foreign investors accounted for most of the activity (96%), and 47% of volume was concentrated in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA).

Prime logistics yield compressed a further 15 basis points in Q1 2026 to 5.10%, extending the trend seen in late 2025. Prime warehouse and light industrial yields tightened by 25 basis points to 6.50% and 7.50%, respectively. 

The largest investment of the quarter was Catena's acquisition of a pan-Nordic logistics portfolio from Urban Partners, structured as a corporate transaction. In addition, CBRE advised Urban Partners on the acquisition of an over-120,000 sqm logistics portfolio of eight assets from DSV in a sale-and-leaseback transaction. Other notable deals included Stendörren's acquisition of a 14-asset portfolio from Sjöblom Kiinteistöt for €123 million and SCPI Eden's entry into the Finnish market via the acquisition of a Wulff Group warehouse in Tuusula, on which CBRE advised the seller.
