Urbanitae has completed the first phase of a capital reorganisation launched last summer, a process that has resulted in the transfer of around 5% of its share capital and values the Spanish real estate crowdfunding platform at €200 million. The transaction, closed in December, marks a new stage in the company’s evolution, with the entry of family offices and property developers as new shareholders alongside a partial reshuffle of existing stakes.
The deal involved investment tickets ranging between €1 million and €2 million, amounting to roughly €10 million in total at the current valuation. According to the company, the move strengthens Urbanitae’s institutional profile and is designed to deepen collaboration with developers, broadening the pipeline of investment opportunities available to its investor base. At the same time, it has allowed some early shareholders to crystallise value while keeping control firmly in the hands of the founding and management team.
Urbanitae plans a second phase of the process, which could see a further 5% to 10% of the capital placed with an institutional investor, discussions for which are already under way. The shareholder base currently includes founders Diego Bestard and Jorge Gutiérrez, venture capital firms such as KFund and All Iron Ventures, and private banking specialist Andbank España, which joined the capital in 2022. Bestard described the reorganisation as an “orderly and coherent evolution” fully aligned with the company’s long-term roadmap.
Beyond the capital move, Urbanitae continues to scale its platform. The company has recently received CNMV approval to operate its own management company, Urbanitae Asset Management SGIIC, enabling it to combine traditional crowdfunding, direct investments and regulated investment funds under a single structure. Active in Spain and Portugal and now expanding into France and Italy, Urbanitae has surpassed €300 million invested, returned more than €100 million to investors and maintains an average annual project return of 12.2%, reinforcing its position as one of Europe’s most dynamic alternative real estate investment platforms.
