Slättö acquires building in Denmark to develop lifestyle hotel
Private equity real estate investor Slättö has acquired a centrally located vacant and outdated office building in Copenhagen, Denmark, which will be transformed into a tech-enabled lifestyle hotel.
With the site acquired from Commercial Real Estate Denmark, the deal is a strategic move to capitalise on the performance of the Copenhagen hotel market.
Slättö chief investment officer Erik Dansbo said: 'This is a milestone investment for Slättö, marking our continued growth in Denmark and a very strong start for our Value Add III fund.
'Together with earlier acquisitions in residential and logistics light industrial, this project reflects the strength of our investment strategy and execution capacity across sectors.'
The property was a former police headquarters built in 1961 and is situated on Halmtorvet Square, near the city's Meatpacking District and transport hubs.
A long-term lease has been secured with hotel operator Bob W for this brown-to-green conversion project.
The renovation will begin in the first quarter of 2026 and aims to preserve the building's architectural heritage while incorporating significant energy upgrades.
The goal is to achieve DGNB Gold environmental certification, reflecting the project's sustainability ambitions.
The 169-room apart-hotel is expected to open its doors in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Slättö Denmark country head Anders Østergaard Hansen said: 'Denmark is a strong real estate market with transparency, liquidity, and international investor appeal.
'This is why Slättö, as a leading Nordic real estate fund manager, aims to grow in the country, and our investment in the Halmtorvet project is a natural step on that journey.'
Copenhagen's hotel market has shown resilience and growth, with overnight stays exceeding 2019 levels for three consecutive years.
The city's appeal is bolstered by its international travel links, diverse demand, and limited forthcoming supply.
Bob W's CEO and co-founder Niko Karstikko said: 'Copenhagen has long been an important city for us - not only as the leading Nordic travel destination, but also for its global reputation in sustainability, design, and culture.
'With one successful property already operating here, we're proud to strengthen our presence in the capital'.
Last year, hotel operator Strawberry announced a collaboration with Slättö to launch a new hotel chain.
This venture aims to focus on strategic locations, quality, and high sustainability standards, aligning with the broader trends in the Nordic hotel market.

Fragile Middle East Truce Heightens Geo-political, Macroeconomic Risks, Including for Europe
Israel and Iran have agreed on a tenuous truce this week following the recent hostilities. Nevertheless, the risk of further regional escalation – and the possible effect on oil markets and international trade – remains given the lack of international consequences for Israel and the United States from their attacks on Iran and uncertainty over what impact the joint military action has had in curtailing Iran's nuclear activities. In addition, the shift by the US away from a traditional role as the post-war guarantor of international norms raises the risks of broader conflicts elsewhere. The issue is particularly acute for Europe considering the ongoing war in Ukraine where there are limited signs the Kremlin is interested in pursuing a full ceasefire or longer-lasting truce. In the longer run, the Iran-Israel crisis may raise the risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and beyond. The crisis may furthermore accelerate increases in regional military expenditure just as NATO members themselves have agreed to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP – more than double a former target of 2%. Such heightened geo-political risk is a core downside risk highlighted by Scope Ratings (Scope)'s latest global macro and credit outlook, not least for Europe. Growth in the region remains more moderate than that of the United States and China while increasing defence budgets risk creating extra fiscal strain for sovereigns already struggling to cut budget deficits and reverse increasing public debt. Germany's stagnant performance this year should drag euro-area growth to a less-than-expected 1.1%, 0.5pps below Scope Ratings' October-2024 forecasts, before a slight rebound in 2026 to 1.5%. By contrast, US growth remains comparatively resilient even though Scope has nevertheless lowered its projections to 1.8% for 2025 from a previous projection of 2.7%. China's economic growth is forecast at a better-than-anticipated 4.8% this year, supported by the ambitious government target for this year of 'around 5%' economic growth and the recent temporary easing of US-China trade tensions. Inflation remains another potential source of economic weakness, including for Europe, given Scope Ratings' consistent view that borrowing rates are likely to stay relatively higher for longer, given the higher structural price pressures than before the pandemic. Here, Europe's dependence on energy imports continues to be a vulnerability, not least if oil prices stay volatile amid the heightened and unresolved tensions within the Middle East region. This means continued risks for inflation and external-sector balances globally – especially for significant energy importers, which, inside the EU, include economies such as Malta, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Belgium and Greece. As things stand, Brent futures (for August delivery) have dropped to under USD 70 a barrel at the time of writing, from the highs last week at nearly USD 79 a barrel. Oil is today below the levels when Israel began the attacks recently on 13 June. But the uncertainties within the region ensure the volatility in crude prices stays elevated. Longer-run risks for energy prices remain twofold. Firstly, Iranian crude exports, which have already been declining, could fall further, which would tighten oil markets. The much more significant but less probable scenario involves a closure of the Strait of Hormuz through which 20% of global oil alongside Qatari exports of liquefied natural gas are transported by ship. That said, despite multiple conflicts involving Iran over the years, authorities have never closed the Strait partly because of the economy's reliance on sea-borne trade with China. As things stand, Scope projects euro-area inflation staying moderate at 2.1% in 2025 before 1.9% in 2026, but inflation risks remaining more significant for the United States, United Kingdom and Japan (Figure 1). Figure 1: Disinflation trend continues across many economies but meets road bumps in many others Headline inflation, with Scope forecasting, % year-over-year Regional instability also increases a risk of trade disruptions and the associated effects for consumer and business sentiment in the Middle East, Europe and beyond. Global growth is forecast to slow to 3.0% in 2025 (cut 0.4pps from Scope's October forecasts) from 3.3% in 2024 before continuing at a moderate 3.1% next year.

Starmer Eases Welfare Cuts in Blow to Budget and His Authority
Keir Starmer agreed to pare back a divisive £5 billion ($6.9 billion) cut to welfare to quiet a rebellion by his own party, a decision that will likely leave both Britain's fiscal plans and the prime minister's own leadership in need of repair. Starmer agreed on Thursday to soften the blow of a sweeping welfare overhaul meant to press more people back to work and off benefits, according to people familiar with the matter. He offered, among other things, to let hundreds of thousands of existing claimants receive benefits at their current level, said the people, who asked not to be named while discussing plans that haven't been publicly announced.
