Responsible real estate investments in Nordic healthcare and social infrastructure
Independent asset management since 2001
Northern Horizon today announced a change in its ownership structure, introducing a partnership model.
Northern Horizon, the leading specialized social infrastructure asset manager in the Nordics, continues to deploy capital to help meet the growing demand for modern care facilities in the region. Over the past month, three new acquisitions for its latest healthcare fund have been completed in Finland, comprising 132 modern, purpose-built care beds in total. Northern Horizon’s Investment Director in Finland expects a high deal volume in 2026.
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.
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 />
