The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has just launched the Buildings Sector Science-Based Target-Setting Criteria! The SBTi Buildings Sector Criteria is a sector-specific science-based decarbonization framework for companies and financial institutions in the buildings value chain, enabling them to set 1.5°C-aligned emissions reduction targets. “As part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Buildings pilot test we had the opportunity to take part in testing the guidance and criteria and are now very excited to see them finalised and launched. We look forward to dive into the framework and apply for SBTi validation for CapMan Real Estate net-zero targets”, shares Anna Rannisto, Sustainability Director at CapMan Real Estate. Highlights of the new criteria include: ◆ Companies using the criteria must commit to no new fossil fuel installations and halve emissions by 2030 at the latest. ◆ The framework now covers global 1.5°C pathways for upfront embodied emissions, including materials production and construction of new buildings. ◆ A ‘whole building approach’ covering all energy consumption and fugitive emissions (e.g. leakage) from buildings’ operations. ◆ Regional pathways for in-use emissions (those associated with buildings’ energy use) developed in collaboration with Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor initiative (CRREM), so that targets reflect variations in local power grids and how buildings are used.

This year the annual declaration of school peace in Finland took place at CapMan Real Estate’s property, the Seminaari school in Hämeenlinna. ✨ The theme of school peace for this year is "You are not alone”. The President of Finland Alexander Stubb participated in the event which took place this morning on August 28th at the Seminaari school. The CapMan Nordic Real Estate III fund invested in the school, which is the largest primary school in Hämeenlinna with approximately 750 pupils, in February 2024. The fund aims to further develop the property, so it serves students and teachers in the area far into the future. National school peace is declared annually at the beginning of the school year. However, the building of school peace continues throughout the school year - the goal is for every member of the school community to have a good time at school. This year’s theme "You are not alone” is a cause also supported by the CapMan operated Tukikummit foundation which works to build a better and more equal world for all young people where no one is left out and alone. CapMan wishes all students a successful and peaceful school year!

The CapMan Social Real Estate fund (CMSRE) continues fundraising towards its EUR 500 million target size while looking for unique investment opportunities ✨   The CMSRE fund, founded in late 2023, invests in properties used for providing essential public services in sectors such as education, day care, civic services, public sector logistics, and healthcare, employing a core-plus strategy.   In December 2023, the fund had its first closing and made its first investment into a day care and school asset in central Helsinki, Finland. The second investment was made in March 2024, acquiring an educational property in Copenhagen, Denmark. Both assets consist of fully refurbished historical buildings and are leased out to long-term tenants. The fund continues to actively look for investment opportunities across the Nordics while fundraising.   “We expect to hold a second formal close before the end of the year, where we will be somewhere between €100m and €150m of equity commitments. The target volume of the fund is €500m,” shares Robert Feldt, Investment Director at CapMan Real Estate.   The team also sees that the real estate market in the Nordics has bottomed out which Feldt comments further:   “In that sense, it’s a good time to go into the market, especially if you look at what asset classes we want to pursue – and the focus of many investors is either value-add or core strategies that are able to provide relatively good cash-on-cash returns.”   Read more on Green Street News below 👇
