NestFrame today announces the acquisition of Stockholm-based COLIVE, marking the first operator to join its newly launched European ownership and investment platform focused on community living.
COLIVE is one of the leading community living operators in the Nordic region, with a growing portfolio of properties and concepts designed for flexible, community-oriented urban living. The company has recently expanded its footprint through the merger with Udda and the acquisition of a portfolio from Forenom, including the launch of its hybrid hospitality concept, The Nooq. These developments have taken place in parallel with NestFrame’s evaluation of COLIVE as a potential regional platform.
“This marks an important milestone for NestFrame,” says Niklas Andersson, CEO of NestFrame. “COLIVE has evolved from 400 to 1350 units during 2026 and represent exactly the type of regional leader we are looking to partner with — a strong operator with a clear identity, proven execution and significant growth potential.”
With the acquisition, COLIVE becomes NestFrame’s regional platform in Sweden and the broader Nordic market. The company will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership, with a clear mandate to further scale its operations across the region.
“We have built strong momentum in the Nordic market, and with NestFrame we gain the long-term structure and support needed to take the next steps.” says Markus Linhardt, COO of COLIVE.
NestFrame was recently launched as a pan-European platform designed to acquire and develop leading regional operators within community living. By combining long-term ownership with shared capabilities in capital markets, governance and data-driven operations, the platform aims to accelerate growth while preserving local entrepreneurship.
Following the acquisition of COLIVE, NestFrame will now intensify its efforts to identify and partner with additional regional operators across Europe, with a particular focus on Germany and Spain.
“Our ambition is to build a platform of regional leaders across Europe,” says Jonas Häggqvist, Chairman of the Board of NestFrame.
“COLIVE is a natural first step — and a strong foundation as we continue expanding into new markets.”
The transaction comes at a time of strong structural momentum in the European community living market, where fragmentation and growing demand are driving a clear consolidation opportunity.
