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+. Meeting the growing need for care beds over the next 25 years, requires 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.
