CapMan Real Estate press release
28 October 2025 at 09:05 am EET
CapMan Real Estate has sold the Seminaari School property located in central Hämeenlinna, Finland held by the CapMan Nordic Real Estate III fund (CMNRE III). The faster than originally planned implementation of the business plan allowed the early exit of this public use property leading it to significantly exceed the return targets of the original underwriting. The buyer is real estate investment company Hemsö.
The Seminaari School is the largest primary school in Hämeenlinna, accommodating approximately 700 pupils, and the entire property is leased to the City of Hämeenlinna on a long-term lease. During CapMan Real Estate’s ownership, significant value-enhancing projects were completed, including:
- The finalisation of a comprehensive renovation of one of the buildings, originally completed in 1953, in close cooperation with the City of Hämeenlinna
- Implementation of extensive energy-efficiency and accessibility improvements
- Installation of a new geothermal heating system, significantly reducing the property’s carbon footprint and increased the amount of on-site generated renewable energy
