We provide data-based strategic social impact advisory for real estate and urban development.
We help real estate investors integrate quality of life into their business models
- so social impact and financial value reinforce each other.
Higher quality of life. Stronger financial returns.
Residents’ quality of life affects asset performance, risk, and long-term returns. Yet many investors lack the methods, data, and internal structures to integrate social aspects into strategic, management, and governance decisions.
Through our collaboration, our clients increasingly operate between “return first” and “impact first,” pursuing a double return where higher community wellbeing goes hand in hand with stronger financial performance. Through our work, our clients gain a systematic and strategic approach to social sustainability, using clear indicators, measurement frameworks, structured roadmaps, and pilot projects.
Our scope in 2025:
9,300 homes
€4.7 billion in asset value
11x collaborations
with strong repeat engagement
4x EU countries
(DK, UK, Spain, and Ireland)
"Ofri is the person I have met who knows the most about the ‘S’ (ESG) in relation to residential properties – and how property owners or administrators can strengthen social qualities with real impact.”
Morten Penthin Svendsen, Nykredit
“PATRIZIA collaborates with Neighborhood Lab on developing socially sustainable housing projects across Europe.
Neighborhood Lab quickly understood our challenges . With great professionalism and strong commitment, guided us through the entire process, from the groundwork to the final result – a solid road-map that we can use in our upcoming housing projects”
Mads Rude, PATRIZIA Global Partners
"During our collaboration on Business2Community, it was fantastic to experience genuine engagement from Neighborhood Lab and to gain completely new insights drawn from global best practices."
Morten Haugaard Jacobsen, Himmerland Boligforening
“The built environment plays a far greater role in our quality of life than we are often aware of. Homes, public spaces, and neighbourhoods are not merely physical settings—they are active participants in everyday life.
That is precisely why I find the work of Neighborhood Lab so important. The combination of data, local insight, and concrete interventions provides a strong foundation for understanding what truly makes a difference in residential areas - and for acting on it.”
Jesper Nygård, former CEO, Realdania
When we add value?
- When social ambition outpaces the ability to execute.
- When social goals lack economic logic, prioritization, or ownership.
- When social impact is difficult to measure, document, or communicate.
- When limited internal capacity slows implementation.
- When partners across the value chain are not aligned.
Why to work with us?
- We translate social ambition into action, economics, and evidence.
- We operationalize double return - aligning social impact with financial performance.
- We provide clear strategies, indicators, and data structures for decision-making.
- We build internal capacity and organisational anchoring.
- We facilitate collaboration across investors, municipalities, administrators, and residents.
