Slättö expands into Denmark by appointing new Country Head

Slättö is pleased to announce the appointment of Anders Østergaard Hansen as Country Head for Denmark. This hire marks Slättö's official entry into the Danish market, further solidifying its position as a leading investor in Nordic private market real estate.

This expansion follows a period of significant growth for Slättö, with the firm's assets under management rising from EUR 1.7 billion in Q4 2023 to EUR 2.5 billion in Q2 2024. Denmark becomes the third market in which Slättö is active, joining Sweden and Finland, where the firm has established a successful and growing presence.

Anders Østergaard Hansen brings extensive experience in investment and real estate to his new role as Country Head for Denmark. Before joining Slättö, he ran his own investment and advisory business. Prior to that, he served as a Director at NREP, where he held multiple roles across the company, ultimately leading the investment, development, and construction functions within NREP's office business line, Woods. His career also includes positions at The LEGO Group and McKinsey & Company.

"We are delighted to welcome Anders to our team," says Erik Dansbo, Partner and CIO at Slättö. "In Denmark, Slättö aims to replicate the success we have seen in Finland, where we have made investments with strong return prospects and grown our portfolio to EUR 300 million. Our approach to entering new markets is built on strong local expertise, off-market deal sourcing, and a focused strategy targeting both smaller and mid-sized investments."

Erik Dansbo adds, "Over the past two years, we have maintained an active deal flow in Denmark and have regularly assessed the market. We believe the timing is ideal to make our first acquisition in Denmark, with attractive opportunities in the residential, light industrial, logistics and hotel segments."

"Slättö has a strong team and entrepreneurial culture. I look forward to contributing to the growth of Slättö's business and presence in Denmark, especially during this dynamic period for the real estate market. The convergence of mega-trends, macroeconomic factors, and shifting local conditions continues to create compelling investment opportunities for proactive investors like Slättö," says Anders Østergaard Hansen.

Anders Østergaard Hansen has assumed his new role on August 1.
