Onvest
Onvest was shaped by the 2018 division of the original Toivanen group holdings. Marja Toivanen and Maria Toivanen-Warras became co-owners of the entity now known as Onvest Oy. The family maintains a multi-generational mandate focused on Finnish operating businesses and commercial property. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity-style industrial holdings, and infrastructure. Its wholly owned subsidiary Feon conducts steel services, while OnWood advances wood construction. Confirmed holdings include multiple logistics and industrial sites in the Helsinki region and western Finland. Onvest executes direct acquisitions and development projects rather than fund commitments, with activity concentrated in Europe. The group reports more than 200 employees across its operating subsidiaries. Onvest maintains its headquarters in Helsinki and has executed several property transactions in the past 24 months. December 2024: Sold the Mittalinja property in Vantaa to Verne, which operates a data center on the site. The family also participates in the Family Business Network Finland. Onvest operates as an active owner of Finnish industrial and real estate assets rather than a diversified global allocator. Its structure ties investment decisions directly to the operating companies it controls, including Feon and OnWood, creating a closed-loop model between ownership and management execution.
