This new investment platform is backed by a cornerstone investment from Grosvenor Group's Diversified Property Investments (DPI), marking Grosvenor's inaugural venture into the Danish market.
komvi aims to invest up to €500 mln in modern, sustainable rental homes across Denmark, targeting the country's nascent single-family rental market. 
The platform has already been seeded with a substantial €150 mln off-market forward-funding acquisition. This initial phase comprises approximately 400 new single-family homes across five development projects located in prime areas within Zealand, Jutland, and Greater Copenhagen. These homes are designed for couples and families, emphasising energy efficiency, quality, and long-term sustainability, with all properties engineered to meet DGNB Gold and EPC A standards.
The joint venture strategically combines DFI's extensive pan-European investment platform and capital structuring expertise with Evervest's deep local market insight and proven execution capabilities. 
This partnership marks DFI's third institutional-grade living platform in Denmark, following its success with Mylo (flex living) and Blaekhus (student accommodation), further diversifying its presence in the Danish living sector. While komvi will initially concentrate on the residential sector, there is an ambition to explore and expand into additional investment themes over time. The partners have been exploring collaboration since 2023 and plan to build out similar living strategies in the coming years.
Paul Nearchou, partner at DFI, commented: “DFI has established a strong track record of creating best-in-class living platforms of scale in Denmark, and Komvi is our latest strategy to capitalise on secular trends in this undersupplied sector. Our aim is to build a market-leading platform, and our seed portfolio gives Komvi immediate scale and quality from launch, comprising newly built rental homes designed to high sustainability standards.”  
Andy Yates, CIO, Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments, stated: “This deal marks Grosvenor’s first investment in Denmark and exemplifies our approach to backing specialist local partners who share our values and have a deep understanding of their markets.”
William Kanta, CEO of Evervest, said: “Our partnership with DFI and Grosvenor reflects exactly what Evervest was created to do – develop clear investment strategies together with investors and execute them with strong local expertise and purpose. Grosvenor’s commitment, in its first investment in Denmark, is a clear endorsement of both our approach and the opportunities we see in the Danish housing market.” 
Sune Ingemann, COO and Co-Founder of Evervest, added: “Komvi will be a modern and human housing company – a place where comfort, quality and community come together. We want to create homes where people don’t just live – they belong.”
