Denmark: Tech-enabled aparthotel operator Bob W has signed a long-term lease with Urban Partners to spare 143 units within a mixed-use project in Copenhagen.
Located in the Ørestad district of the city, the project will be developed by Skanska. Urban Partners will acquire the site through a forward-purchase transaction upon completion.
The aparthotel will form part of a wider six-storey, mixed-use scheme comprising 210 residential apartments. Construction is expected to begin this spring with completion scheduled for summer 2028.
It marks Bob W’s third property in the capital.
Taavi Pettai, VP real estate, lead in Nordics and CEE at Bob W, said: “Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most compelling cities for digital nomads who value the ability to travel and work alongside one another, and it’s a market we know well. 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.
“This project in Ørestad brings together hotel apartments and flexible residential living within a single, thoughtfully planned development. Working alongside Urban Partners and Skanska allows us to place Bob W’s hospitality offer into a broader urban context, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to Copenhagen. Despite our market leadership in the city and across the Nordics, we see significant headroom for further growth in Denmark and the wider region, and we’re actively exploring what comes next,” Pettai added.
Thomas Riise-Jakobsen, country manager at Urban Partners (formerly NREP), said: “Ørestad is undergoing rapid development, and demand for flexible, well-located housing continues to grow. This project brings together residential apartments and hotel apartments in a way that supports different needs and life stages, while shared facilities help create a strong sense of community. Bob W brings a clear operating vision and strong understanding of how people want to experience cities today, making them a natural partner for the aparthotel component of the scheme.”
