“We continue to maintain a steady rate of acquisitions, i.e. one per month on average. The conditions for continuing to acquire logistics properties with development potential remain excellent. We continuously evaluate potential transactions and are well prepared for completing further acquisitions in the near future. Despite the continuous expansion of operations, administration costs remain at the same level, which makes a positive contribution to profit from property management and illustrates our efficiency and cost consciousness,” comments Tommy Åstrand, CEO of SLP.
