Cities will determine the future of humanity. Cities consume most of the world’s resources, and they generate the majority of global emissions. With half of the world's population now living in an urban area, cities are at the forefront of our greatest social, economic, and environmental challenges.
We are Urban Partners. We exist to power the progress of cities and citizens by investing to help solve the most pressing urban problems. We unite insights, stakeholders and capital within the urban ecosystem, and our long-term positive impact is part of the attractive returns we deliver.
Founded in the Nordics almost two decades ago, we are grounded in a solid history of execution and governed by a strong set of values. We’re global in reach today, and our initial priorities are to: decarbonize the built environment; (re)generate urban neighborhoods; and pioneer problem-solving partnerships to bridge the gap between interests of people, cities, and capital.
Our platform holds four vision-aligned investment verticals shaped around urban problem solving. With close to €20bn under management, we invest in assets, companies, technologies, and solutions:
● Nrep is a real estate investor committed to driving real change in the industry with a holistic ESG focus.
● 2150 is a venture capital firm investing in the sustainable reshaping of the broad urban environment.
● Velo Capital provides flexible real estate credit solutions, helping its customers focus on sustainable assets.
● Luma Equity, our newest innovation in the family, is a private equity investor set up to back companies with scalable green solutions.
Urban Partners invests to make cities a benefit, not a burden, for people and the planet. We’re building the urban future, together.
