Avignon Capital, the European property investment company, and Norwegian partner Clarksons Platou Real Estate have sold a prime Oslo office property.

The partnership sold the 27 Østensjøveien building for €61m, producing an 87% return on equity, to Malling & Co Eiendomsond, an all-equity fund, in an off-market transaction.

Avignon Capital bought the asset in 2014 in what it described as a growth area of the Norwegian capital.

Doug Burton-Cantley, director of asset management at Avignon Capital, said: “We are actively seeking to reinvest this cash in attractive markets and look forward to another year of growth and expansion.�

The 16,766sqm building is in the Helsfy district.

Pål Sandal, partner at Clarksons Platou Real Estate, said: “Over the past three years we have sold 14 projects with a weighted annual return of 79.6%.

“We are therefore pleased that we can continue to deliver high returns to our investors.�

The sale follows the divestment of a Copenhagen prime retail portfolio for €119m , which provided a 135% return on equity.
