Urban Creation extends partnership with Handelsbanken

By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Feb 13, 2024

Bristol based property investor Urban Creation is celebrating a significant milestone as it extends its partnership with Handelsbanken for another five years. Known for providing student apartments and short term accommodation, Urban Creation has enjoyed a successful collaboration with the trusted financial institution, reinforcing the strength of their relationship.

The renewal of this partnership follows closely on the heels of Urban Creation’s recent rebranding, symbolising a new chapter in the company’s journey. Handelsbanken has played a pivotal role as a financial partner, assisting Urban Creation in refinancing their property portfolio and contributing significantly to their growth and success.

Jonathan Brecknell, the Founder of Urban Creation, expresses collective excitement about the extended partnership, emphasising its importance beyond a financial milestone. “This marks a new chapter for our brand, and we are thrilled to enter it with the continued support of Handelsbanken. The renewal of this partnership is not just a significant financial milestone, but a reflection of the trust and confidence Handelsbanken places in Urban Creation’s vision.”
