ejendomsskab

Ejendomsskab is a term used in Danish contexts to denote an entity that owns, manages or develops real estate. Although the related and more common word ejendomsselskab (real estate company) is often seen in official and commercial usage, ejendomsskab may be used colloquially to refer to the same types of enterprises or arrangements that hold property assets.

Such entities operate across a range of functions including property investment, letting, facility management, maintenance and redevelopment. They may focus on residential, commercial, industrial or mixed-use portfolios and can act as long-term holders of income-producing assets or as short-term developers and traders. Core activities include tenant relations, lease administration, capital improvements and asset optimisation to achieve rental income and capital appreciation.

In Denmark and similar jurisdictions, property-holding entities adopt various legal forms—private limited companies, public limited companies, partnerships or special purpose vehicles—to structure ownership, limit liability and optimise taxation. They are subject to company law, land registration rules, planning regulations and sector-specific requirements such as tenancy protection and building codes.

Stakeholders typically include investors, owners, board members, professional managers and tenants. Risks faced by ejendomsskab entities include market fluctuations, vacancy, regulatory changes and financing costs. The term is primarily descriptive and overlaps with broader concepts of property management and real estate investment.
