Investment Story

Mylo is a purpose-built, community-led micro living property in Sydhavnen, a waterfront district that has been transformed from an industrial harbour into one of Copenhagen’s most sought-after residential areas, with good access to the city centre via public transport. The long red-brick building sits on Sydhavnsgade, directly across from Aalborg University’s Copenhagen campus and a short walk from the Sluseholmen metro station, the harbour front and Valbyparken.

Completed in 2024, the building comprises approximately 11,400 m² of lettable area: 333 studio apartments over six floors, 17 serviced apartments and two commercial units. The apartments are available furnished or unfurnished, each with a private kitchenette and bathroom. The residential offer is built around shared spaces: a communal kitchen on every floor, a lounge and library, study and coworking areas, a shared laundry and three rooftop terraces. A dedicated resident app, regular events and an on-site service team support the day-to-day community.

Genesta acquired Mylo in 2026 on behalf of the GNRE Core Plus Open-Ended Fund from a joint venture between DFI and SF Management. The acquisition marks Genesta’s entry into the micro living segment and is its second residential investment in Greater Copenhagen, alongside Cirkelhuset in Køge.

Investment Rationale

Micro living is increasingly a lifestyle choice for young professionals and others who value location, flexibility and community over square metres. Copenhagen’s single-person households keep growing, while zoning and rising construction costs constrain new supply of small, well-located rental homes. Sydhavnen combines these structural demand drivers — a university campus on the doorstep, metro connectivity and proximity to the city centre and the harbour — with ongoing urban renewal.

Mylo addresses that demand with a standardised studio product and a flexible furnished/unfurnished offer that lowers friction for tenants and supports high occupancy. As a newly built, stabilised and fully let property with a well-proven concept and a strong resident community, it offers a solid starting point in one of the city’s fastest-changing neighbourhoods.

The property is DGNB Gold certified, meeting the sustainability requirements of institutional capital and residents alike, while the shared facilities, rooftop terraces and community programme differentiate the asset from conventional studio stock and support rental resilience over time.
