The sale of Longevity to Nuveen’s Private Equity Impact team, part of the $1.2 trillion global asset manager, and Leon Capital, the London-based European private equity investment firm, marks a significant milestone in the growth story of Longevity. This partnership will accelerate Longevity’s continued global expansion and drive further innovation in sustainability solutions for the built environment.

Long Harbour successfully co-founded and seed funded Longevity Partners in 2015 and supported its growth for almost nine years. Under Long Harbour’s partial ownership, Longevity provided services including strategy setting and reporting, climate resilience, sustainable design, sustainable finance and green building certifications and will continue to build on these under the new partnership. KPMG advised Long Harbour on the transaction.

William Astor, Chief Executive Officer at Long Harbour said: “Over the past nine years, backed by Long Harbour, Longevity has grown from strength to strength by providing important services in climate and sustainability which have transformed firms around the globe. At a time when the transition to net zero is essential for all real estate companies, the sale of our stake in Longevity to Nuveen and Leon Capital will assist Longevity to scale its operations globally and accelerate its growth.”
