CEO MARKUS MYLLYMÄKI
2024 was a challenging year for property developers and investors, but it also offered opportunities for bold players. Toivo went against the tide and increased its market share in a difficult environment. In addition, operating profit turned out to be fairly good.
Despite the challenges in the real estate market, Toivo signed contracts for more than EUR 200 million and was involved in four of the 20 largest real estate transactions in Finland during the year. This shows that we have strengthened our position in the market. In addition, the company’s expansion in community properties from piloting to production is pleasing.
The housing shortage is already visible in the Helsinki metropolitan area, and the demand for new apartments is growing. Toivo’s market share in non-subsidised apartment building production increased to approximately 10 per cent, which is an indication of successful acquisitions and investments.
Construction costs have stabilised and signs of recovery can be seen in the rental market. This opens up opportunities for long-term investments. Now is the right time to take advantage of the market situation and further strengthen our position.
DEVELOPMENT: The company is prepared for the future and the opening up of the market with a project development portfolio of some 3,200 apartments, of which approximately 91% are located in the Helsinki metropolitan area. During the final quarter, the company signed four
new contracts for new projects, two residential properties and two care facilities.
CONSTRUCTION: The company started four new projects in October–December. Two of the properties are semi-detached house projects. One of the projects was a community property to be built for an investor. In addition, the company began the construction of a new non-subsidised rental building for its own balance sheet.
OWNERSHIP: Toivo handles lease activities and management in-house by using the company’s own Asuntomestarit®. The company’s economic occupancy rate fell to the lowest figures in history in H2/2024, but the occupancy rate has gradually begun to improve.
SELLING: The last quarter of the year was strong in terms of sales for Toivo, and the company succeeded in completing significant property transactions. The largest deals were the sale of EUR 20 million of care facilities under construction to NREP and the sale of a EUR 35 million completed apartment building portfolio to Sirius.
Toivo’s business is capital-intensive, and its strong balance sheet provides the company with excellent conditions for growth. The equity ratio increased to 48.9 per cent and LTV decreased to 43.9 per cent, which indicates the company’s balanced financing structure. The financing base, which mainly consists of long-term bank financing, will also enable strategic investments in 2025.
I would like to thank our customers, partners and the Toivo team for an excellent year in 2024 – the journey will continue strongly in 2025!
