Savills has formed an alliance with GEM Property, an independent real estate services company in Finland. Based in Helsinki and founded in November 2016, GEM Property offers real estate valuation and advisory services and its brokerage arm will launch in April.  

Mark Ridley, CEO of Savills UK & Europe, comments: “Forming a new association in Finland is in line with our European strategy to strengthen our presence in the Nordic region. Real estate in Finland has long been on the radar of international investors, with 68% of the total investment volume last year being attributable to cross border activity. It is very important for us to be able to provide our clients with the best possible service across Europe and I am confident that GEM Property will be a great addition to our global network.”  

Seppo Koponen, CEO of GEM Property, says: “Thanks to a highly experienced team, we have already achieved a strong foothold with our domestic and international clients. Savills has an outstanding global network and our combined expertise will enable us to assist international clients with their requirements in Finland and our Finnish clients will benefit through our association with Savills global and European teams.”
