Urbanitae has sold 5% and is offering up to 10% more to family offices and developers for a combined €30M, while launching Urbanitae Asset Management SGIIC after CNMV approval.
Spanish real estate crowdfunding and crowdlending platform Urbanitae has taken a major step to broaden its investor base by placing up to 15% of its capital with institutional buyers for a combined €30 million.
The company confirmed it has already closed the first tranche, selling 5% of the business to a group of institutional investors—mainly family offices and real estate developers—after a process that began last summer and was signed in December. Urbanitae values the company at €200 million based on the initial 5% transaction. A second process will see between 5% and 10% more of the capital offered to qualified institutional investors in the coming months.
Urbanitae did not disclose the names of the new shareholders. In a statement the platform said the completed transaction met the deadlines and objectives set at the outset and underlines the strong market interest in joining its shareholder base. The operation also included a reorganisation of some long-standing holdings, aligned with the company’s medium- and long-term growth strategy.
The planned capital placement is structured to attract minority blocks of between 1% and 2%, with average ticket sizes of €1–2 million. That design aims to make participation accessible to a broader range of family offices and developers while preserving control of the company in the hands of the founder and the management team.
Alongside this share sale, Urbanitae has created a new management company, Urbanitae Asset Management SGIIC, which has already been authorised by Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). The new vehicle will allow Urbanitae to create and manage collective investment funds while continuing to operate its crowdfunding platform as a regulated crowdfunding service provider (PSFP).
With this structure, Urbanitae now offers three complementary channels for real estate investment: collective investment through crowdfunding, direct investments in specific assets via Urbanitae Direct Investments, and regulated real estate investment funds managed by Urbanitae Asset Management SGIIC. The company says this multi-channel approach responds to sustained interest from qualified investors and reflects its position as a sector benchmark with a diversified and expanding business model.
The combination of fresh institutional capital and CNMV approval for fund management positions Urbanitae to accelerate growth, extend its product offering to investors, and deepen ties with family offices and developers looking for structured exposure to Spanish real estate.
