Bob W, a tech-driven aparthotel operator, has signed a long-term lease with Urban Partners to manage 143 units in a new mixed-use development in Copenhagen's Ørestad district.
This marks Bob W's third property in the Danish capital, reflecting its strategic expansion across the Nordics to meet the rising demand for flexible, longer-stay accommodations.
The development, constructed by Skanska, will include 210 residential flats and is set to cover approximately 13,100 square metres.
Located on Ørestads Boulevard near the Bella Centre, construction is slated to begin this spring, with completion expected by summer 2028.
Meeting the needs of a growing market
The project aims to cater to the increasing need for well-connected urban living spaces, offering shared facilities such as communal areas, meeting rooms, a café, and a roof terrace.
Taavi Pettai, Vice President of Real Estate at Bob W, highlighted Copenhagen's appeal to digital nomads and the demand for flexible stays.
"Opening our third property in the capital reflects the demand we’re seeing from guests who are looking for flexible, longer stays that allow them to work comfortably and experience the city beyond the usual tourist patterns," Pettai stated.
Urban Partners' Country Manager, Thomas Riise-Jakobsen, noted the rapid development in Ørestad and the growing demand for versatile housing. He praised Bob W's understanding of modern urban experiences, making them a fitting partner for the aparthotel component.
This development is part of Urban Partners' broader strategy to invest in resilient urban environments across Northern Europe, whilst Bob W continues its expansion in major European cities through strategic partnerships.
