The partnership is designed for owners of large real estate portfolios with substantial holdings in both residential and commercial properties who want to manage their portfolios under one manager.
Komu Homes will lead residential property management, with services covering leasing, resident services, technical property management, marketing, and financial management. CBRE Finland will provide commercial property management, bringing extensive experience working with real estate investors and tenants. Komu has built a technology-driven operating model specialised in residential real estate. CBRE has deep commercial expertise and a global real estate network. Together, the companies can offer mixed-portfolio owners a streamlined way to organise the management of both property types.
“Many large owners hold both residential and commercial assets in the same portfolio. These have often been managed separately, even though the owner looks at the overall performance of the entire portfolio. Together with CBRE, we can build a service tailored precisely to this need. Each company contributes its strongest expertise,” comments Roni Lahti, CEO and Co-founder of Komu Homes.
”Commercial property management is about more than day-to-day operations. It means understanding tenants, supporting investment strategy, and creating long-term value. We are pleased to bring this expertise, backed by CBRE's global network, to a partnership with Komu Homes, whose residential capabilities complement ours very well," comments Krista Ruigendijk, Head of Property Management at CBRE Finland.
“The day-to-day operations of residential properties are very different from commercial ones. Residential property management involves a strong focus on leasing speed, resident experience, and a high volume of daily touchpoints. We have designed Komu’s operating model and technology specifically around these needs. Now we can deliver this capability to clients who want a unified approach to managing their residential and commercial properties,” says Elias Örmä, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Komu Homes.
