Commercial property

Real estate is one of the largest and most important asset classes in the Norwegian economy – a key driver of capital allocation, urban development, and industrial growth. The property sector sits at the intersection of capital, regulation and politics, characterised by significant values and increasing complexity. Real estate therefore plays a central role in areas such as capital investment, industrial transformation, the development of business parks, land-based aquaculture facilities, power generation, infrastructure projects, and the green transition.

Our lawyers offer market-leading expertise in property transactions, structuring and development, including related matters such as leasing, financing and disputes. We work closely with technical advisers, architects and public authorities in complex transactional and development processes. Our advice is often strategic and solution-oriented, designed to secure the added value our clients are seeking. We are one of Norway’s largest real estate teams, with specialists covering every aspect of the property sector – always focused on contributing to long-term value creation. Where relevant, we collaborate seamlessly with experts from other practice areas such as M&A, tax, financing, aquaculture, energy and public law. The result is practical legal solutions that create real commercial value.

At Arntzen Grette, we assist leading players across the full real estate industry. Our clients include long-term property owners, arrangers, developers and companies with property as their core business, as well as tenants, real estate agents and selected public entities.
