The JV aims to tap into the growing Danish SFR market and capitalise on the continued expansion and sophistication of the Danish rental market, which is driving demand for high quality, purpose-built and institutionally managed SFR homes. Residential vacancy rates are low across Demark, with a circa 2.5 percent national average, and have fallen by circa 1.5 percent year-on-year, driven by favourable demographic dynamics and a growing preference for renting, amid a constrained housing supply due to a slowdown in construction activity.

Komvi aims to capture this demand and has been seeded with the EUR 150 million forward-funding acquisition of approximately 400 newly built homes across five residential projects in Zealand, Jutland and Greater Copenhagen. The multigenerational homes will meet DGNB Gold and EPC A sustainability standards.

DFI and Evervest are currently assessing a deep pipeline of additional opportunities across Denmark, with plans to expand Komvi through targeted acquisitions and forward-funding projects. Both parties have been exploring partnership opportunities since 2023 and plan to build out similar living strategies alongside Komvi in the coming years.

“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. The DFI and Evervest teams’ commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable homes that meet local needs aligns with our strategy to deliver long-term value while promoting environmental responsibility, social wellbeing and community support. We look forward to working with DFI and Evervest to grow this exciting platform,” says Andy Yates, Chief Investment Officer, Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments.

“DFI has established a strong track record of creating best-in-class living platforms of scale and Komvi is our latest strategy to capitalise on the sector’s compelling secular trends. Grosvenor’s decision to back DFI and Evervest with a significant capital commitment for its first investment in the Danish market is a strong endorsement of both our track-record and this investment thesis. Our aim is to build a market leading platform and our seed portfolio gives Komvi immediate scale and quality from launch,” says Paul Nearchou, Partner at DFI.

This latest strategy builds on DFI’s strong track record of creating institutional grade living platforms in Denmark. This includes Blaekhus, a student accommodation platform comprising circa 1,200 student units, which DFI sold to Patrizia in 2022 for EUR 314 million. DFI has also built Mylo Living, a Danish flex living platform seeded with a 350-unit asset in Copenhagen.

“Komvi marks the launch of Evervest’s first dedicated residential investment strategy and is a major milestone for us as a company,” says William Kanta, CEO of Evervest. “Our partnership with DFI and Grosvenor reflects exactly what Evervest was created to do – develop clear investment strategies 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.”

Evervest builds on a proven Danish track record in residential real estate. The company manages a mandate for PFA, Denmark’s largest pension fund, covering a nationwide residential portfolio. CEO and Co-Founder William Kanta founded BoStad, a former Nasdaq Copenhagen–listed residential property group successfully exited to AP Pension in 2021 and to Goldman Sachs 2025, while COO and Co- Founder Sune Ingemann brings extensive experience from leading Nrep’s residential concepts, including the development of Plushusene.
