Trond Eide and his wife Laila Pedersen have through their wholly owned company Trojan sold the real estate company Kirkeparken Eiendom, which owns the old Norges Bank building in Tromsø.
The buyer is the company Acea Properties, which is owned by the brothers Roger and Kristian Adolfsen, Even Carlsen and Benn Eidissen.
– Not cheap
Purchase sums are not public, but on 18 June, the brokerage company Tiger Eiendomskompetanse registered a misappropriation of NOK 100 million on the three properties.
– It is not as high as 100 million kroner. There’s something under it. A little below, says general manager of Acea Properties, Morten Jørgensen.
– It is not cheap for central and good properties. But I do not want to comment on the exact amount, he says.
–In 1972, Norges Bank moved into this building in the center of Tromsø.

When brokers carry out the sale of properties, they can take a time-limited mortgage called recklessness to control the sale of the property.
The amount of insanity is often set higher than the real value of the property. Real estate agents inform iTromsø that they inadvertently set the amount 10 to 15 percent higher than the sale price for private homes, and 5 to 10 percent higher than the sale price for commercial properties.
A misappropriation of NOK 100 million in three commercial properties suggests a real value of between NOK 90 and 95 million.

Trond Hammer in Tiger Eiendomskompetanse, who took out the imprudence, confirms that this was done in connection with the sale, but also does not want to comment on the specific sale price.
– Acea Properties has bought the old bank building. It is a nice building, a monumental building from the 70s with very typical architecture, says Hammer, who also adds that the facade is protected.

Among Norway’s richest
Buyers are among Norway’s richest. The brothers Roger and Kristian Adolfsen from Andøya have built their fortune in hotels, health services and kindergartens. Much of the money has been invested in real estate in recent years, and the brothers have invested in several large housing projects and commercial properties in Tromsø.
The two brothers share 82nd place on Kapital’s list of Norway’s richest, each with an estimated fortune of NOK 3.5 billion.
Benn Eidissen and Even Carlsen together built up a large kindergarten chain, which the Adolfsen brothers later bought into. Two years ago, the four sold more than 170 properties with kindergartens to an Australian pension fund for NOK 2.7 billion.
In 2019, Eidissen had a fortune of NOK 287 million, and Carlsen had a fortune of NOK 412 million, according to tax figures.

Carlsen, Eidissen and Kristian Adolfsen reported moving to the “tax paradise” Bø municipality, where the municipality has reduced the wealth tax, but Eidissen dropped the relocation plans when the Tax Administration demanded that he settle in the municipality to reduce taxes.
The bank building is one of Tromsø’s most central buildings, and faces the newly restored Kirkeparken. Jørgensen in Acea says that all the properties have long-term and good leases, but the company envisages developing the bank building over time.
– It can be nice to bring something cool into the bank building, something more outward-looking towards the city. But it will not happen until four or five years at the earliest, he says.
