Urbanitae, the Spanish real estate investment platform, has successfully completed the first phase of a capital reorganization process initiated last summer, meeting the timelines and objectives set from the outset and confirming strong market interest in becoming part of its shareholder base.
The process, which was closed and signed in December, allowed the entry of new institutional-type partners, mainly family offices and real estate developers, and reorganized the stakes of some historic shareholders, in line with the company’s natural evolution and its medium- and long-term growth strategy.
These investor profiles were involved in a transaction representing around 5% of the company’s capital, a deal that values Urbanitae at €200 million. In addition, Urbanitae is advancing a second phase of this process, representing between 5% and 10% of capital, aimed at bringing in funds from institutional investors, which will take place in the coming months.
This move reflects the sustained interest Urbanitae has generated among qualified investors, supported by the strength of its results, its positioning as a sector benchmark, and a diversified, rapidly expanding business model. The company’s control remains in the hands of its founding and management team.
The purpose of this capital reorganization is to facilitate the entry of new investors through minority blocks of 1–2% with average tickets of €1–2 million.
“From the outset, we approached this process as an orderly evolution aligned with the stage Urbanitae is at. The strong interest received and the timely closing reinforce our roadmap and the market’s confidence in our project,” said Diego Bestard, founder and CEO of Urbanitae.
At the same time, Urbanitae has taken another step in its growth and diversification strategy with the creation of its own management company for collective investment institutions, Urbanitae Asset Management SGIIC, S.A., recently authorized by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). This milestone will allow the company to create and manage investment funds while simultaneously maintaining its activity as a crowdfunding service provider (PSFP). With this new structure, Urbanitae clearly and complementarily organizes three major real estate investment channels: collective investment via crowdfunding, direct investments in individual assets through Urbanitae Direct Investments, and real estate investment funds.
Urbanitae has established itself as the largest real estate investment platform in Spain and as one of the leading players in the sector at the European level. The company also leads the market in Portugal and has launched operations in France and Italy, strengthening its internationalization strategy.
Urbanitae’s model combines debt and equity projects, enabling diversification of investment terms and profiles, and maintains close collaboration with top-tier real estate developers—one of the main factors explaining its sustained growth.
With this shareholder reorganization now completed, Urbanitae enters a new phase focused on expanding its investor base, diversifying its offerings, and consolidating its position as a leading platform for alternative real estate investment, both in Spain and across other European markets.
Founded in 2017, Urbanitae is a Spanish real estate investment company operating the highest-grossing crowdfunding platform in Spain and Portugal. Specializing in equity real estate deals, Urbanitae allows investors to participate in major projects through a simple, 100% online process without paperwork.
Authorized and supervised by the CNMV since June 2019, Urbanitae has financed real estate projects worth over €600 million. To date, it has provided funding for the construction of more than 8,100 homes across Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Currently, Urbanitae manages over €3 billion in assets, of which €2.77 billion correspond to the residential sector and €250 million to non-residential assets.
