Selected projects
Assistance to Værste AS, a major property developer in East Norway, in connection with the sale of one business property portfolio and one building plot portfolio in Fredrikstad. The sale of the portfolios was necessary for Værste to provide net capital for further property development of the old shipyard area in Fredrikstad. The first portfolio was sold to a Clarkson Platou Syndicate and many complex tax-issues were raised and solved during the sale process. The second portfolio was purchased by the municipality of Fredrikstad and by the county authority of Østfold after long and hard negotiations lasting more than one year.
Assistance to Ferd Eiendom in connection with the structuring, introductory sale and establishment of a joint venture with Selvaag Bolig for the development of the Tiedemann property.
Ståle headed the Wiersholm team that assisted a Pareto syndicate with the sale of Gjelleråsen Eiendom to Ragde Eiendom and Canica Eiendom. Gjelleråsen Eiendom leases the main facility to Arcus-Gruppen's production, storage and logistics activities.
