What we do

A next-generation asset manager for urban living.

Node Asset Management is the investment, development and operations arm of Node Living. We work with institutional investors, family offices, landowners and developers to deliver furnished apartment, coliving, microliving and build-to-rent communities using our proprietary design and global track record.

Over the past decade we have deployed capital alongside global institutional partners in over $1bn in transactions and crystallised value through exits in multiple markets. Today we are actively deploying capital across the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland and Spain.

Our model is vertically integrated end-to-end. We are skin-in-the-game co-investors in every project we undertake — our alignment is yours.

Capital, design and operations under one roof.
Who we partner with

Two pathways. One platform.

Node Asset Management serves two principal audiences — developers needing a complete platform to deliver a stabilised institutional-grade asset, and investors seeking direct exposure to the urban living thematic.

For developers

A complete platform from site to stabilised asset.

You have a site, an entitlement or a pipeline. Node provides the institutional capital relationships, the brand, the operational platform and the design IP to deliver a fully stabilised institutional-grade asset.

  • Capital + JV structuring
    Equity, debt and co-investment alongside leading institutional partners.
  • Brand + design IP
    Concept, spatial design, FF&E and smart systems via Node Design Studio.
  • Operations + community
    Lease-up, property management, resident services, community programming.
  • Institutional exit paths
    Recap, refinance or take-out at stabilisation through existing capital relationships.
For investors

Direct exposure to the urban living thematic.

Institutional and family office capital seeking exposure to furnished apartments, coliving, microliving, and studio led build-to-rent assets. We co-invest, source the deals, deliver the buildings, manage them end-to-end and have a track record of institutional exits.

  • Aligned co-investor
    Skin-in-the-game in every project. Our alignment is yours.
  • Vertically integrated
    Operator, designer, developer, asset manager — under one roof.
  • Institutional track record
