History
The Company was founded by Morgan Jones and Ian Watson in 2005 to exploit the industrial property investment market in Continental Europe.[2] It was admitted to the Alternative Investment Market in November 2005, raising £125 million.[2] In October 2009 it raised a further £200.8 million by way of a Placing and Open Offer and moved to the Official List, converting to a REIT shortly thereafter.[2]
Operations
In August 2009 Hansteen launched Hansteen UK Industrial Property Unit Trust (HPUT), a vehicle with up to £180 million to invest in UK industrial property with a value of £15 million or less, or portfolios under £30 million.[3] In 2010 Hansteen increased its portfolio to 189 assets with a value of around £721.9 million through the acquisition of a German industrial property portfolio from HBI for approx. €330 million[4] and the acquisition of the 1,200,000 sq ft (110,000 m2) multi-sector Kilmartin portfolio of UK properties for £80.37 million.[5] The Company's investment portolio was valued at £1.1 billion as at 31 December 2015.[1]
