Overview

Oslobolig AS is a Norwegian social housing enterprise established to help people with ordinary incomes buy an apartment in Oslo. The company operates a shared-equity model called Boligspleis, in which a buyer purchases at least 50 percent of a home and rents the remaining share from Oslobolig. The stated goal is that the buyer gradually buys out the company's share until they own 100 percent of the home. This model is designed for people who lack large equity savings but can afford monthly loan payments, giving them a new route into Oslo's housing market. Oslobolig is owned by a consortium of public and private partners: Oslo kommune (the City of Oslo), OBOS, Bane NOR Eiendom, and Urban Partners (NREP). This ownership structure combines municipal housing policy goals with the development and investment expertise of major Norwegian property actors. The company presents its offering as a safe and trustworthy collaboration, emphasizing that it is owned by these established institutions. On its website, Oslobolig provides tools such as a housing calculator (boligkalkulator) to help prospective buyers determine what home price they can afford, and a list of available homes and projects. Current and upcoming projects mentioned include Poulssons Kvarter and Studio Poulsson at Fornebu (Arnstein Arnebergs vei 21), Pilar Bjerke at Bjerke (Refstadveien 102), and Vollebekk Stasjon at Vollebekk (Hans Møller Gasmanns Vei), with move-in dates from Q4 2026. The company also offers financing guidance and customer stories. The managing director (daglig leder) is Stian Myhre, who is quoted on the website describing the company's mission. Oslobolig is a private limited company (AS) and is not publicly listed. Its operations are focused on the Oslo housing market, and it represents a collaborative effort between the municipality and private developers to address housing affordability.

History

Oslobolig AS was established as a Norwegian company with the purpose of helping people with ordinary incomes buy an apartment in Oslo. The company was founded as a collaboration between the City of Oslo and major property actors, and its ownership is shared among Oslo kommune, OBOS, Bane NOR Eiendom, and Urban Partners (NREP). The concept was developed to address the challenge that many people in Oslo lack sufficient equity to enter the housing market, even if they can afford monthly mortgage payments. The company's core offering, Boligspleis, allows a buyer to purchase at least 50 percent of a home and rent the remaining share from Oslobolig. Over time, the buyer can buy out the company's share and eventually own the entire home. This model is presented as a new way into the housing market, combining ownership and rental in a single arrangement. Oslobolig has been involved in several residential projects in and around Oslo. Its website lists Poulssons Kvarter and Studio Poulsson at Fornebu (Arnstein Arnebergs vei 21), Pilar Bjerke at Bjerke (Refstadveien 102), and Vollebekk Stasjon at Vollebekk (Hans Møller Gasmanns Vei), with move-in dates from Q4 2026. The company provides a housing calculator and financing guidance to help prospective buyers assess their budget and secure financing. The managing director is Stian Myhre, who has publicly described the company's mission to make it easier to enter the Oslo housing market. Oslobolig operates as a private limited company and is not listed on any stock exchange. Its activities remain focused on the Oslo region.
