Invests in sustainable solutions for urban challenges.
Urban Partners, as linked to https://urban.partners, is an organization focused on investing to help solve the most pressing urban problems. Their approach is centered around sustainability and urban climate action, aiming to power the progress of cities and citizens. The organization is part of a broader initiative that includes entities like Nrep, which is dedicated to creating better real estate for people and cities through vision-aligned, differentiated investment strategies. Urban Partners has joined forces with Systemiq Ltd. to mobilize a group of forward-thinking investors managing a total of $500 billion to push towards decarbonizing urban environments. This initiative, known as Leaders of the Urban Future (LOTUF), aims to form a collective view on net zero in real estate, create demand for decarbonizing solutions, and grow the group’s impact potential. Recent projects include the Ripple Residence, a low-carbon residential project in Denmark that boasts CO2 emissions of just five kg CO2 per sqm per year, showcasing innovative sustainability and scalable construction practices. However, specific details on typical project financing amounts and criteria for receiving funding are not readily available.
