About
Birk Assets is a Nordic investment and development company
positioned at the intersection of power, land and digital infrastructure.
01
Where land, power and expertise meet
AI capacity requires three things in the same place at the same time: land that can be zoned for industrial use, power that can be secured at scale, and the expertise to combine the two into a build-ready product. Few sites offer all three — and few developers control the full path from raw land to secured megawatts. That is the position Birk occupies.
02
A two-country platform
The company operates through a two-country structure that combines local origination power with Norwegian corporate governance. In Gävleborg, Sweden, the operational team handles site origination, technical and environmental assessment, grid-connection dialogue and municipal relationships. In Bærum, Norway, the head office anchors board oversight, capital discipline and financial control.
03
Decades of regulatory experience
The two pillars share more than a balance sheet. Birk’s Norwegian organisation has worked with property zoning and regulatory processes for decades — navigating planning frameworks, permitting authorities and stakeholder processes on complex development projects. That is precisely the competence AI infrastructure development demands: the path from raw land to build-ready site runs through zoning, permits and public processes, and Birk brings a team that has walked that path many times.

The foundation:
Norwegian real estate
The company’s balance sheet rests on two residential development positions in Norway.
Stavanger — Joa
75 units, approx. 5,400 m² GFA. Fully zoned residential area in one of Norway’s strongest growth regions, developed in phases with sales launch planned per stage.
Hemsedal — Skarsnuten
Mountain destination position in one of Norway’s leading year-round resorts, held through an option structure and matured towards development readiness.
The portfolio provides the company with substance and a cash-flow foundation, and is developed further in parallel with the digital infrastructure strategy — two pillars, one balance sheet.
