The future frontman for PensionDanmark's real estate investments has been found. Torben Modvig will take office no later than September 1, 2025 as CEO of PensionDanmark Ejendomme, replacing Marius Møller, who announced in late summer 2024 that he wanted to step down within the next 12 months.
Torben comes from a position as CEO of the property development and construction company Nordstern, which he has headed since 2019.
Nordstern and the companies behind it have worked on several of PensionDanmark's real estate projects, including Trælasten in Aarhus, Flegmade in Vejle, Retten in Svendborg and Banedanmark's domicile in Ringsted.
"I am very pleased that Torben Modvig has agreed to lead the management and development of PensionDanmark's properties in the future. He comes with extensive management experience from the sector and has shown that he executes with care and consideration. Torben has the right skills and values, both professionally and personally, to create success and solid returns in our extensive and ambitious portfolio,” says Peter Stensgaard Mørch, CEO of PensionDanmark.
PensionDanmark has more than 20 years of history as a property investor, and has a well-established focus on stable returns through the development of innovative urban areas and commercial properties. The total portfolio that Torben Modvig will lead has a value of over DKK 30 billion.
“Properties are an important component of our investment portfolio, where they contribute attractive and stable returns that act as a counterbalance to the fluctuations in the stock markets for older members in particular. At the same time, as a developer of innovative Danish properties, we help to make a very tangible contribution to society, and with Torben at the helm, we are very well equipped to take this work into a new era,” says Peter Stensgaard Mørch.
Torben Modvig is looking forward to becoming part of PensionDanmark and leading the forward-looking work in the property area.
“I know PensionDanmark as an ambitious, responsible and innovative developer, and I look forward to becoming part of the further development of the property portfolio. I am dedicated to making a difference – both for the members' returns and for the end users' quality of life – and I look forward to getting started with the work once I have passed the baton in Nordstern safely on,” says Torben Modvig.
