Timo Pahkala, Managing Director, WasaGroup Oy: ” This is a significant transaction for WasaGroup and an opening for new investor cooperation. We are very pleased that we found a reputable and well-established partner for the project, who already owns a fire station in Kuopio and is thus a familiar landlord for the tenant. WasaGroup's strategy is to carry out real estate projects for different investor partners. In addition, we place emphasis on local community development; this site is also built by local contractors.”

Jari Tirkkonen, Director, JLL Finland: “We are very pleased to have been able to successfully act as WasaGroup’s commercial advisor in the sale of this important rescue station property in the North Savo region.
