Trevian’s and Nuveen’s first residential investment in Finland has achieved exceptional leasing success, with additional units currently under development. The €42 million investment, executed with advisory support from Trevian Asset Management, highlights strong demand in the Greater Helsinki area for energy-efficient, design-led family rental housing located close to schools.

At the core of Trevian’s and Nuveen’s investment strategy is addressing family housing needs by combining A-rated energy efficiency, attractive micro-locations, and carefully considered material choices and layouts that support space, privacy, and long-term living.

– Successful pre-leasing confirms a strong market signal. Family rental housing that meets today’s standards is in genuine short supply in the capital region, creating an attractive and structurally resilient segment for investors, says Kim Särs, Head of Investment Management at Trevian.

The timber-constructed residential developments have been delivered in line with high sustainability standards and are designed to provide energy-efficient homes suitable for long-term family living. Trevian will continue its collaboration with Nuveen as advisor in the acquisition and development of the next phases of the portfolio.

– This family rental housing investment in the Greater Helsinki residential market represents a meaningful milestone for us. It has been rewarding to see how well the homes have met the needs of families, particularly in terms of location and everyday functionality, Särs adds.

The homes have been designed with daily family life in mind, featuring generous layouts, large window areas, private terraces or gardens, and carefully selected kitchen and bathroom finishes that support durable, long-term living. The offering is complemented by modern building systems and electric vehicle charging facilities for all homes.

Nuveen, one of the world’s largest investment managers, entered the Finnish residential market through a four-asset family rental housing portfolio in the Greater Helsinki area. Trevian acts as advisor to the investment, with the developments delivered by Toivo Group.

– We set high standards and Toivo Group has delivered to an exceptional level. All handovers were completed with zero defects, and we are very satisfied with the quality of execution, Kim Särs continues.

The next homes in the portfolio are scheduled for completion in Espoo in 2026.
