The assets, which are earmarked for Sirius' first fund, are located in Tampere, Keuruu, Ylöjärvi, Nastola, Helsinki and Parainen and provide 14,000 m2 of space.

'These assets complement the fund’s grocery store portfolio very well and further strengthen the cooperation with Kesko.

The fund owns a 170,000 m2 portfolio spread across 70 assets at present.
