Perfect alignment with Northern Horizon's investment strategy
Northern Horizon is committed to achieving net zero emissions in the operations of the funds it manages by 2030 – Hoivarakentajat is part of the solution.
We build attractive, environmentally certified log buildings for growing health and social service companies operating in Finland. For an investor valuing sustainability, this is an opportunity to acquire a portfolio of sustainable and economically reliable nursing homes or daycare centre properties.
Established in 2011, we are a responsible Finnish construction company and pioneers in public log construction. We combine our knowledge about sensory-friendly, energy-efficient log construction with an in-depth understanding of the needs of care building users. This sustainable approach benefits all parties.
The most important thing for us is that the building works. Hoivarakentajat’s properties have been of high quality, and the cooperation has been excellent. This also provides certainty for future acquisitions.
We have received positive feedback from everyone who has visited the sites – warranty inspections and receptions have gone well, and there have been no challenges typical of construction projects. Schedules have been adhered to, and quality has been high. The lists of errors and defects have been exceptionally short.
Hoivarakentajat’s project engineers have always been ready to help and find solutions, even if the matter was not directly their responsibility. The cooperation has been straightforward and has inspired trust. The care doesn't end when the house is handed over, but continues further.
ESG considerations, i.e. environmental, social, and governance factors, play a major role in our investment decisions. We are committed to achieving net zero emissions in the operations of the funds we manage by 2030.
We enable business growth for well–established, growing health and social service companies and early childhood education and care (ECEC) companies. We do this by providing turn-key construction of sustainable, sensory-friendly log house properties.
We build for people and the climate. We aim to nurture the well-being and skills of our employees and to be open, honest, supportive and positive towards all people. As business partners, we are responsible, act fairly and build long-term partnerships. We want to stay ahead of the curve by seeking answers to future challenges.
With the experience of more than 100 nursing homes, assisted living units and day-care centre buildings, we know the users’ needs. Focusing on low-carbon log buildings, we have created an easy way for investors to grow their real estate portfolio with sustainable log buildings.
There’s a constant need for new nursing home buildings and day-care centres in Finland. Longstanding, energy-efficient and environmentally certified log buildings are a perfect fit for sustainable real estate investments.
Living in sensory-friendly log buildings is especially valuable for children, elderly people needing care and people with special care needs. Our modern day-care centres and nursing homes are also desired workplaces.
Our buildings can reach the best A energy class. The CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) analysis shows a remarkably low transition risk related to climate change regulation: the log properties stay well below their assigned carbon budget. This is mainly due to the energy efficiency, and the large volume of renewable wood, resulting in low-carbon buildings.
Furthermore, our nursing and care homes promote the circular economy. The buildings are designed to meet the needs of at least two resident groups.
Energy-efficient and sensory-friendly log properties are desired workplaces, making them a high-yield investment opportunity.
Responsibly built, durable, low-carbon and environmentally certified properties add sustainability to your property portfolio.
Conversion-flexible buildings are easily adjustable for various end-user groups, from senior nursing homes to different social care homes.
Steadily growing health and social service companies as tenants grow your real estate portfolio in Finland’s growth centres.
Our customers typically need several new nursing homes or care home units. We acquire suitable plots, construct sustainable log buildings and sell the properties with long-term lease agreements to sustainability-focused investors.
We provide a sound process to acquire energy-efficient, sustainable, sensory-friendly nursing and care homes. They are desired workplaces – which means that as an investment, they are a sure choice.
Long-term lease agreements with growth-focused health and social care companies, backed by public funding, are an efficient way to secure the growth of your investment portfolio.
The growth-focused health & social service company aligns where new attractive care and service homes are needed.
Hoivarakentajat acquires appropriate plots from desired locations.
Hoivarakentajat establishes real estate companies and long-term lease agreements with the health & social service company.
Hoivarakentajat designs and constructs energy-efficient log properties, always respecting the budget and schedule.
Hoivarakentajat acquires environmental certification (LEED / BREEAM) for the buildings.
Hoivarakentajat finalises the sale of real estate companies with long-term lease agreements to the investor.
It is important for us to share the same values with the parties investing in our log buildings. We seek investment partners who value the responsibility of environmental stewardship, social wellbeing and good governance of healthy log buildings and the service companies using them.
