The Catholic Church in Finland Updates Its Real Estate Strategy to Support Sustainable Growth

The Catholic Church in Finland has recently faced positive challenges: the number of members is increasing, more people are attending services, and the number of employees is also growing. This development brings with it the need to reassess property management from a new perspective.

The Church has an extensive property portfolio across Finland, varying in condition, usage rates, and functionality. Many older buildings require different levels of renovation, and allocating resources effectively requires clear guidelines. It is evident that the Church’s real estate strategy must support both current and future needs while ensuring financial sustainability.

FinProma, specializing in real estate strategy planning, is assisting the diocese in developing a strategic real estate plan. The goal of this collaboration is to create a real estate strategy that provides a clear roadmap for the coming years.

The real estate strategy includes an assessment of the current state of properties, estimated repair debt calculations, and key functional and technical development needs. It anticipates changes brought about by growth and establishes a concrete plan and roadmap for the most important actions and decisions in the coming years.

It is crucial to ensure responsible property management, as real estate management is not merely a technical issue—the Church’s properties must support its activities both in the short and long term.
