This week, the planning case for a new police station at Kjelsrud was approved in the City Council. RELOG entered in 2021 into a lease agreement with Oslo Police District, Unit East, on a new police station at Kjelsrud. The police station will replace the current stations at Stovner and Manglerud. The building will be in total 18,000 m2, including option areas for future expansion. Construction starts in February 2023 and completion is autumn 2024. Hent has been selected as general contractor for the project. The police station is the first new establishment in the Kjelsrud area and the decision by the regulatory plan is an important milestone for RELOG's further development and transformation of the Kjelsrud area.

RELOG AS and Plastretur have entered into an agreement on the establishment of a new plastic sorting facility in Holtskogen Næringspark, which is 30 minutes in distance from Oslo. The project, which has a total investment of approximately MNOK 650 and can sort up to 90,000 tonnes of plastic a year, will contribute to a change of pace in the Norwegian circular economy for plastics.



This is primarily an important project for plastic handling in Norway, where the majority is sent abroad for sorting. Holtskogen was chosen amid strong competition from other potential properties, and we are therefore very satisfied that Plastretur chose Holtskogen Næringspark and RELOG as a collaboration partner.



Synergy effects and environmental focus RELOG has a strong focus on providing good infrastructure in its business parks in Norway, which in turn attracts solid players such as Plastretur. With the right location, this type of operator saves transport costs and the environment, which is of course important in the future. In addition, we want to create positive synergy effects with the players established in the business park. At Holtskogen, for example, we collaborate with Østfold Energi to find energy-efficient solutions where we can use excess heat from the data center in the business park, which can in turn be used to heat water and air for future establishments.



Work is now underway on the design of the building with the aim of completing the framework application in October 2022. The final investment decision on whether the plant will be built will be made at the beginning of 2023.

For the year 2021, RELOG has a profit before tax of NOK 1.3 billion. The value of total assets in the balance sheet is now approximately NOK 14 billion adjusted for ownership interests in associated companies.



Rental income is expected to increase significantly in the years to come from the current annual "run-rate" which has exceeded NOK 500 million. The CEO of RELOG, Christian Wist, comments: “We are very pleased with the result for the year 2021 and we are optimistic about the future. The expected increase in rental income is largely driven by the company's project portfolio, which is of significant size. The project portfolio ensures RELOG a stable and good growth in revenues and values ​​in the years ahead ».



One of the major events during the year 2021 was the transaction with a major portfolio purchase of properties for approximately NOK 1.3 billion with a net weighted yield of approx. 6%. The portfolio consists of seven properties in the Nordic region within warehousing, logistics and light industry. The transaction was strategically important for RELOG as it increased the geographical diversification of the real estate portfolio. In addition, this portfolio of high-quality real estate combined with attractive development opportunities will support the company's future growth ambitions.
