CapMan Nordic Real Estate III fund has signed a landmark 17,600 sqm lease agreement with a 15-year maturity with Visma, securing the entire office premises at Sørkedalsveien 6 in Oslo. The asset will undergo a full-scale renovation with a strong focus on sustainability, with completion expected in late 2027.
CapMan acquired the 18-storey landmark office building, originally built in 2001, in late 2022, anticipating the departure of the previous tenant. Over the past 18 months, the project has undergone a comprehensive design phase to reposition the iconic building as a high-quality, full-service, and sustainable* office destination. Once completed, the property will serve as Visma’s new global headquarters.
Visma is a leading provider of mission-critical business software, including solutions for accounting, payroll, invoicing and tax. As of 2024, Visma reported revenues of €2.8 billion with over 16,000 employees globally.
The renovation work will be guided by an ambitious sustainability strategy, aiming to transform the property into a benchmark for sustainable* office refurbishments. Key upgrades include the expansion of the ground floor to create a more welcoming and accessible environment for tenants and visitors, a new facade, upgraded technical systems, and unique tenant spaces. The building’s energy classification will be significantly improved—from EPC E to EPC A—and the project is targeting a BREEAM-NOR Excellent certification. Construction is already underway, with Insenti serving as the project management advisor.
“We are truly honoured to partner with Visma on this landmark project. Securing the lease agreement ahead of construction start for the entire building marks a significant milestone. It reflects both the strength of our project vision and the enduring appeal of Majorstuen as a premier office location,” says Andreas Wang, Investment Director at CapMan Real Estate.
“This lease agreement is a testament to the flight to quality and the continued demand for sustainable, modern office space in prime locations,” said Magnus Berglund, Head of Sweden & Norway at CapMan Real Estate.
*The project aligns with the EU Taxonomy’s technical screening criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation through the renovation of existing buildings (7.2). Upon completion, it will also meet the criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation through the acquisition and ownership of buildings (7.7).
