諾基亞近日宣布與芬蘭的Exilion公司達(dá)成協(xié)議，諾基亞將其位于芬蘭埃斯波（Espoo）的總部大樓以1.7億歐元（約合2.2億美元）的價格出售給Exilion公司，但諾基亞將對總部大樓回租使用，預(yù)計整個交易將在2012年底前結(jié)束。 諾基亞CFO提莫·伊哈莫蒂拉（Timo Ihamuotila）在一份聲明中表示，“在出售總部大樓業(yè)務(wù)上，我們與芬蘭及國外投資者進(jìn)行了全面的銷售流程，我們對這一結(jié)果感到非常滿意。正如我們此前所說的那樣，不動產(chǎn)并非諾基亞核心業(yè)務(wù)的一部分，機(jī)會來臨時，我們愿意出售這種非核心資產(chǎn)?！?

諾基亞從1997年開始在這幢大樓里運(yùn)營，該建筑占地面積4.8萬平方米，由芬蘭建筑師佩卡·海林（Pekka Helin）設(shè)計。

諾基亞出售其總部辦公大樓并不出人意料，因?yàn)榇饲爸Z基亞曾證實(shí)該為籌集資金、正在考慮出售公司總部辦公場所。 此前有傳聞稱，諾基亞總部辦公大樓能夠賣到3億歐元。諾基亞在其第二季度財報曾透露“公司正在重新評估所有的非核心業(yè)務(wù)”，其中就包括房產(chǎn)。今年10月份時，諾基亞曾表示，“大部分公司的核心業(yè)務(wù)不在房產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目上，一家公司的投資和關(guān)注重點(diǎn)應(yīng)在其核心業(yè)務(wù)上而非房產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目上?！? 自從轉(zhuǎn)投到Windows Phone平臺后，諾基亞已關(guān)閉一些工廠、運(yùn)營中心、資產(chǎn)和商務(wù)部門，同時實(shí)施了部分裁員。今年7月份，諾基亞證實(shí)已關(guān)閉了其在芬蘭的最后最后一個手機(jī)工廠——芬蘭沙羅（Salo）手機(jī)制造基地。為降低成本，諾基亞還關(guān)閉了位于德國和加拿大研發(fā)中心，其制定了在今年年底之前節(jié)省近20億美元的減支計劃。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Luffy Liu 參考英文原文：Nokia selling headquarters for $223 million, by Dylan McGrath

{pagination} Nokia selling headquarters for $223 million Dylan McGrath SAN FRANCISCO— Finnish mobile phone vendor Nokia Corp. said Tuesday (Dec. 4) it plans to sell its headquarters in Espoo, Finland, to a real estate investment firm for 170 million euro (about $223 million). Nokia said it plans to lease the office building from the real estate investment firm, Finland-based Exilion Capital Ltd., on a long-term basis. Nokia said it expects to complete the sale by the end of 2012. "We had a comprehensive sales process with both Finnish and foreign investors and we are very pleased with this outcome," said Timo Ihamuotila, Nokia's chief financial officer. "As we have said before, owning real estate is not part of Nokia's core business and when good opportunities arise we are willing to exit these types of non-core assets." Last week, chip vendor Advanced Micro Devices Inc. announced its intention to sell its main campus in Austin, Texas, and lease the facility back from the buyer on a long-term basis. Nokia's headquarters, known as Nokia House. The building was designed by architect Pekka Helin. Nokia has operated in its current headquarters since 1997. The space is about 157,000 square feet. In a separate statement, Exilion said the deal nearly doubles its property portfolio value. "We are proud of this new partnership with Nokia," Exilion said. Nokia, which for years was the world's largest handset maker, has struggled in recent quarters as competitors like Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Apple Inc. reap higher profit margins from the red hot smartphone segment. In the third quarter, Nokia ranked No. 2 overall in handset market share and seventh in smartphones, according to market research firm Gartner Inc.
