Alma Property Partners has hired Nicolas Karkkolainen and Antti Salonen for the Finnish real estate investment team in Helsinki and Gustav Bachmann for the Danish real estate investment team in Copenhagen. The three new hires bring Alma’s investment and asset management team to twelve members.
Nicolas Karkkolainen joined Alma from CBRE Finland’s Capital Markets team and Antti Salonen from CapMan Real Estate in Helsinki. Gustav Bachmann will join Alma on April 1st from Thylander, where he was an Investment Manager, and he has previous experience from Catella and Carnegie. All three are Associates on the real estate investment team and will focus primarily on deal sourcing, transaction execution, market research and asset management.
‟We are proud to welcome two experienced investment professionals to Alma’s investment team in Helsinki. Nicolas and Antti come from well-respected companies, and they will strengthen our investment and asset management capabilities in Finland,” says Robert Landtman, Partner and Head of Finland, at Alma Property Partners.
Alma is currently investing Alma Fund III which has €347 million of equity capital from primarily Swedish and German institutional investors. At year-end 2023, the Fund had €300m of undrawn equity capital, which will be invested into the Nordic markets in the next two years. Alma continues to grow, and several new team members are expected to join during 2024.
‟We are happy to welcome Gustav to the team as our presence in the Danish market continues to grow. We moved to a new office location in Copenhagen near Kongens Nytorv in 2023 and we have plenty of capital to invest over the coming years,” says Hüseyin Meric, Partner and Head of Denmark, at Alma Property Partners.
