Home.Earth is a real estate company founded in 2021 with a focus on developing and operating sustainable homes in European urban centers. The company's approach is centered on long-term ownership and operation of its properties, aiming to create quality living spaces that prioritize environmental and social sustainability.
Home.Earth's strategy involves designing and building properties with a scalable product approach, combining industry-leading sustainability performance with a new approach to tenant relations. The company's first projects are located in Copenhagen, Denmark, including the transformation of a former movie storage warehouse into 37 student homes and the development of a vibrant office space housing 26 entrepreneurial companies.
The company has received significant recognition for its efforts, including a grant of DKK 4.3 million from Realdania to develop the 'Doughnut for Urban Real Estate' and winning the Sustainability Achievement of the Year 2024 for the Doughnut for Urban Development. Home.Earth is also B Corp certified, joining a global movement of businesses working to build a more inclusive and equitable economic system.

This allows for long-term optimization of decisions across design, maintenance, technology, and more, aiming to yield better long-term financials and minimize environmental impact. The company's approach to profit sharing is also noteworthy, with investors receiving 75% of total profits and tenants, team, and the Home.Earth Foundation receiving the remaining 25%.
