Denmark’s best real estate developer 2025: Skanska

Skanska’s Denmark strategy over the review period centred on building and recycling prime, sustainability-led assets in Greater Copenhagen while de-risking through forward transactions and securing demand early. The approach combines disciplined capital rotations and selective development in offices and hybrid hospitality, underpinned by measurable ESG commitments. 

This playbook was evident at Hørkær Have in Herlev, a 264-apartment scheme that Skanska secured via a forward purchase agreement with Nordic real estate investor NREP. Construction finished in summer 2025 and the asset was fully leased at divestment.
