Bjerke Eiendom

What Bjerke Eiendom does

Bjerke Eiendom AS is a privately held Norwegian property management and ownership company headquartered in Oslo. Founded in 1949, the firm owns and operates a portfolio of 10 buildings in central Oslo — including more than 400 residential apartments across nine buildings (such as Grønnegata 6A, Grønnegata 6B, Seilduksgata, and Hjelmsgate) — plus nine commercial spaces and a substantial garage/parking estate. The company has extended cross-border into Copenhagen, where it now operates 8 buildings, establishing a small but growing Nordic footprint outside Norway.

The business generates revenue through four streams: residential apartment rentals, commercial space rentals (with disclosed tenants including Cubus and Carlings), garage and parking rentals, and additional services such as EV charging. Property administration is intentionally lean — approximately 7 employees manage the full portfolio — supported by a third-party tenant portal (Uniteliving) for communications and payments. The firm does not disclose financials, holds no external funding signals, and operates with an informal administrative structure typical of a multi-generational family-owned landlord. Recent activity has emphasized portfolio modernization, including a major 2022 renovation of Grønnegata 6A (69 apartments) and new construction of Grønnegata 6B (12 apartments), alongside a partnership with Norwegian Broker offering a rental guarantee product to commercial tenants.

Revenue model

1. Residential Apartment Rentals: Bjerke Eiendom earns revenue primarily through monthly rental payments from residential tenants across its portfolio of apartments in Oslo and Copenhagen. Rent is typically charged monthly and includes services such as stair cleaning (trappevask). Tenants can pay a traditional deposit or use a rental guarantee through Norwegian Broker as an alternative.
2. Commercial Space Rentals: The company rents out ground-floor commercial/retail spaces and commercial units within its properties. Examples include retail stores (Cubus, Carlings), restaurants (sushi restaurants, Den Sorte Gryde), a bridal salon, bicycle shop, acupuncture/osteopathy clinic, hairdresser, locksmith, accounting office, gym, grocery store, and more. These are rented as long-term commercial leases.
3. Garage and Parking Rentals: The company rents out garage and parking spaces across its properties. Offerings include standard parking spots and EV charging-enabled spaces (e.g., 16 EV-enabled spaces at Grønnegata 6, 6 EV-enabled spaces at Maridalsveien 175, 11 EV-enabled spaces at Grefsenkvartalet). Some garage facilities are also offered with heated access ramps.
4. Additional Services: Tenants can order additional services such as painting (in white), maintenance support, and other supplementary services. These are charged as add-on services to the base rental.
