What We Do
Overview
As an investor, hands-on operator, and strategic partner to cities, we bridge global capital with local opportunity to drive financial performance and societal benefit.
Solve For Tomorrow.
We invest in Northern Europe’s most resilient urban markets, addressing structural supply–demand gaps in housing, social infrastructure, logistics, and financing. Managing over €23 billion in real estate, we invest where strong structural fundamentals and long-term demand create unique opportunities for outsize growth potential.
We identify structural challenges in Europe’s cities – especially the shortage of modern, resilient housing. With a strong local presence, we invest where supply is falling short and where we can help deliver high-quality assets to meet market demand in the middle income segment.

Transitional and underperforming urban assets.

Unlock value through repositioning and active management.

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 upgrade aging housing stock, build critical infrastructure and flexible workspaces, and find energy efficient solutions. At Urban Partners, we aim to bridge urban opportunity in attractive and stable markets with global private capital.
Our Approach
We are problem solvers at heart. We solve for global institutions seeking long-term stability, for municipalities navigating structural supply–demand imbalances, and for tenants through a differentiated, customer-centric approach.
Value Creation
Real estate is not just a compelling asset class driven by long-term macro trends, it’s a product people use in their everyday lives. Our customer-centric approach allows us to assess what creates real value for our tenants by understanding how people live, commute, work, and travel.
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.
