How we deliver value

Northern Horizon is a Nordic-based real estate investment manager. We invest institutional capital in new, modern, and sustainable aged care homes and other social infrastructure assets in the Nordic region. We have been pioneers in this segment for 20 years.

Investors

Our investor base includes European and global institutional investors - through direct investments or via multi-managers.

Business partners

We work closely with developers, municipalities and the most established private operators.

Communities

We add new supply and provide modern, sustainable care and living environments to communities with a sustained shortage of care beds.

Impact-driven investments

The Nordic population is ageing rapidly, and more elderly citizens will need specialized housing and care. The need for new care homes requires significant investments. Helping society care for its elders and contributing to alleviate the growing structural undersupply of modern, sustainable care beds in the Nordics are key drivers for our strategy.

Investment with impact

The demographic challenge of an ageing population

Today, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland have a combined population of 28 million. By 2050, the region is expected to have 1.9 million more seniors aged 75+. To meet the growing need for care beds, over 185,000 net new care beds will be needed over the next 25 years. This corresponds to over EUR 3 billion in annual investment.

This critical societal challenge can only be met through a combination of public and private capital, and through public and private cooperation.

For institutional investors, the asset class represents an investment case where social impact and long-term investment performance go hand in hand.

Keynote interview: Investors eye Nordic social infrastructure for growth, impact

In this keynote interview conducted by PERE, Northern Horizon’s Christoffer Abramson and Andrew Smith discuss the evolving social infrastructure real estate landscape in the Nordics. In the interview, they delve into various aspects of the investment case: the rapidly growing elderly population, the strong government support for aged care, and the development and realization of new, modern aged-care facilities in the Nordics, which is typically a complex process involving close collaboration between the municipality, the developer, the operator, and the facility provider.
Case story

A purpose-built, forward-looking social infrastructure asset designed to connect generations

Located in the southern part of Jutland, Kolding Municipality is one of many municipalities in Denmark facing a growing elderly population and an urgent need for new aged care beds. The municipality decided a few years ago to establish an additional 170 care beds over a period of 4–5 years, as a combination of municipal and private care facilities. This paved the way for the design and construction of a new asset in Kolding, that today houses Mariehjemmene Kolding, the first private care home in the municipality, and KLAX kindergarten.<br />
