Information on the Target

CapMan Social Real Estate Fund (CMSRE) has made its inaugural investment in the acquisition of three historically significant buildings located in central Helsinki, Finland. The investment comprises two daycare facilities operated by the French Jules Verne kindergarten and school, along with a third building designated for daycare use by the City of Helsinki, which is currently undergoing renovations expected to conclude in 2025. These properties are strategically situated close to the Hietalahti market square, ensuring excellent accessibility.
