Selvaag Invest
Selvaag AS serves as the family-owned parent established in 1948 by Olav Selvaag. Selvaag Invest operates as its dedicated vehicle for non-real-estate financial investments. The structure separates property development from broader capital allocation. Selvaag Invest deploys across private equity, infrastructure, direct co-investments, and philanthropic vehicles. Confirmed holdings include mixed-use projects at Tjuvholmen and Løren in Oslo plus the SNØ Indoor Ski Hall in Lørenskog. The firm also maintains exposure to public markets and alternatives. Geographic reach covers Europe and Africa. Investment stages include early-stage venture capital alongside later direct holdings. The family office maintains no disclosed headcount or additional offices. Selvaag AS holds 100 percent of Selvaag Invest. Adjacent vehicles include Stiftelsen Selvaag for philanthropic activity and a 20 percent stake in Urban Property. The group belongs to the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise through subsidiaries. Selvaag Invest sits inside a three-generation operating company rather than as a standalone wealth vehicle. Capital decisions remain tied to the Selvaag Group's real-estate cash flows and board oversight by family principals.
