May 11, 2026 | KKR Announces Sale of Danish Residential Portfolio to Pears Global Real Estate Denmark
Copenhagen, 11 May 2026 - KKR, a leading global investment firm, and Fokus Nordic, a local asset manager and minority owner, today announced the sale of a portfolio of Danish residential units in Central and Greater Copenhagen to Pears Global Real Estate Denmark, a leading international real estate investment advisor. The details of the transaction were not disclosed.
The portfolio comprises 213 residential units located across attractive submarkets within Copenhagen and its catchment area, municipalities that are home to approximately 15% of Denmark's population and with connectivity to the city centre. KKR acquired the portfolio in 2021 through KKR Real Estate Partners Europe II ("REPE II"), a fund dedicated to value-add and opportunistic real estate investments in Western Europe.
The transaction reflects KKR's disciplined approach to portfolio management and value creation in the Nordic residential sector. KKR's European real estate strategy has established a significant presence across the Nordic region, with recent investments spanning Denmark, Finland, and Sweden across sectors including residential, student accommodation, and logistics.
Alexander Thams, Director and Head of Nordics Real Estate for KKR said: "We are pleased to have completed this transaction with Pears Global Real Estate. We remain firmly committed to the Nordic real estate sector and continue to view the region as a key growth market with attractive structural characteristics. Denmark's residential market continues to demonstrate resilience and we look forward to pursuing further opportunities in the Danish market and beyond in the coming years as we continue to build our presence in this important region."
Emil Holmboe Christiansen, Investment Executive at Pears Global Real Estate Denmark, commented: "First and foremost, we would like to thank the seller for a constructive dialogue throughout the process. We have followed the portfolio with great interest for some time and are very pleased to have successfully completed the
acquisition. The investment naturally aligns with our existing Danish activities and supports our ambition of maintaining a long-term presence in the Danish market. The collaboration between our Finance, Asset Management and Investment teams was instrumental to the success of the deal, and I would like to extend my thanks to them."
In connection with the transaction, Accura and EY acted as advisors to Pears Global Real Estate Denmark. KKR and Fokus were advised by CBRE and Gorrissen Federspiel.
