The tech-powered, design-led aparthotel operator, Bob W, has signed a long-term lease with Urban Partners (formerly NREP) to operate 143 units within a new mixed-use development in Copenhagen’s Ørestad district.

Developed and built by Skanska, the scheme will become Bob W’s third property in the Danish capital, supporting its continued expansion across the Nordics amid growing demand for flexible, longer-stay accommodation.

The aparthotel will form part of a wider six-storey mixed-use scheme comprising 210 residential apartments, with the overall property totalling approximately 13,100sq m. Located on Ørestads Boulevard close to the Bella Center, construction is expected to begin this spring, with completion scheduled for summer 2028.

The project is designed to address growing demand for flexible, well-connected urban living in Copenhagen, combining residential apartments and aparthotel-style accommodation within a single, integrated development. Shared facilities will include communal spaces, meeting rooms, a café, a roof terrace and a landscaped central courtyard, supporting both short- and longer-term stays.

For Bob W, the Ørestad signing will become its third property in Copenhagen, reinforcing the operator’s growing footprint in the Danish capital and its wider Nordic expansion. For Urban Partners, the agreement reflects its focus on developing future-proof urban homes that respond to evolving lifestyles and the growing overlap between living, working and travelling.

Located in one of Copenhagen’s fastest-evolving districts, the property benefits from strong transport connectivity via the Copenhagen Metro, with direct links to the city centre, the airport and surrounding recreational areas. The Bella Center area has seen increasing demand for housing and hospitality concepts that offer flexibility, shared amenities and proximity to employment hubs.

The scheme is being developed and constructed by Skanska A/S and will be acquired by Urban Partners through a forward-purchase transaction upon completion.
