What we do

Overview

As an investor and strategic partner to cities, we bridge global capital with local opportunity to drive both financial performance and societal benefit.

Our investment strategies

We invest in Europe’s most resilient urban markets, addressing structural supply–demand gaps in housing, social infrastructure, logistics, and financing. With over €25 billion in assets under management, we invest where strong structural fundamentals and long-term demand create unique opportunities for outsized growth potential.

We identify long‑term structural challenges in Northern European cities, particularly the need for modern, resilient housing and logistics. We source opportunities through our deep local presence and unlock value through unique development capabilities and hands-on asset management. Our value-add strategy seeks higher return potential than core real estate, with an aim to deliver durable income and controlled value creation.

Focus
Transitional and underperforming urban assets.
Target
Unlock value through repositioning, development and active management.

Our Core+ strategy focuses on highly stable Nordic real estate markets with resilient economies and strong long‑term demand. We invest in income‑generating sectors such as multi‑family residential housing, care homes, and logistics, where active management and a long-term investment horizon supports stable performance. A conservative approach to leverage, strong tenant quality, and disciplined portfolio construction underpin resilience across market cycles.

Focus
Stable, high quality, income-generating urban assets.
Target
Unlock value within highly stable and resilient Nordic markets.

Through our credit strategies, we support high-quality real estate investors in addressing the growing funding gap in Core + and value-add real estate projects in Northern Europe. Our in-house expertise allows us to support across asset classes and risk stages, with a unique understanding of transitional projects. As a financing partner, we leverage our hyperlocal presence and institutional knowledge in real estate development, asset management and sustainability to work with sponsors and create tailored solutions.

Focus
Finance quality real estate across the capital structure.
Target
Unlock value by providing credit supported by in-depth real estate knowledge.

Through our venture capital arm, 2150, we invest in technology companies that are seeking to reimagine our cities and the industries that power them. 2150 partners with companies capable of delivering superior financial outcomes alongside measurable benefits for people and the planet.

Focus
Urban technology solutions
Target
Provide financing to entrepreneurs developing transformative solutions in the urban space.

The power of private capital

We believe that solving real problems through disciplined investment is a superior business model and the most effective way to do good: For our investors, our cities, and to the benefit of all.

Our conviction

Cities are under pressure to deliver housing to meet growing needs, build critical social infrastructure and flexible workspaces, and to find energy-efficient solutions. At Urban Partners, we aim to bridge global capital with urban opportunities in attractive and stable markets.

Our hyperlocal approach

We invest in cities where we live, work and understand the investment potential at a neighbourhood level. Our hometown advantage enables deep networks and an organic understanding of the evolution of local demand patterns, supply constraints, and city-specific growth dynamics.

Value creation

We are problem solvers at heart and see real estate as more than just a compelling asset class: it’s a product people use in their everyday lives. Our innovative approach allows us to solve for global institutions seeking long-term stability, for municipalities navigating structural supply–demand imbalances, and for tenants through a differentiated, customer-centric approach.

Risk mitigation

We manage risk by focusing on markets with strong structural fundamentals, growing populations, and stable transaction volumes. We mitigate climate risk by building resilient assets and staying ahead of regulatory change, which de-risks our investments and protects long-term value.
