Scalable Property Management and Stable Returns for Sirius Capital Partners

Retta Management has been Sirius Capital Partners’ property management partner since 2021. The 55-person team provides Sirius comprehensive services covering property management, residential leasing, financial administration, energy management, and commercial leasing.

Founded in 2014, Sirius Capital Partners is a real estate investment and asset management company focused on property investments in Finland that require active management. The company concentrates on properties where value can be created through development and refinement, forming more attractive investment portfolios.

Goal: A Responsible Partner for Efficient Property Management

Sirius was looking for a reliable and responsible management partner for its investment properties. The company had positive experiences with Retta Management’s services. Brand reputation and responsibility played a key role in the decision: for international investors, partner reliability is essential, and responsible practices help secure financing while generating both financial and environmental savings.

Moreover, many tenants are not directly familiar with their landlord, so Retta Management’s strong reputation supports Sirius Capital Partners’ business and builds trust.

45 Properties in Two Years – Retta Management Handles Practical Implementation

In just two years, Retta Management has onboarded 45 apartment buildings for Sirius. Bringing construction projects to move-in readiness requires an enormous amount of work and seamless collaboration among various professionals.

Services have included construction-phase accounting and financial management, apartment viewings, property marketing, building maintenance, cleaning, key management, electricity contracts and insurance tendering, as well as other operational tasks. Retta Management also oversees energy services to ensure buildings remain healthy and energy-efficient — for example, optimizing ventilation and heating adjustments to prevent unnecessary heat loss.

“In large-scale projects, we need an experienced partner who knows how to ask the right questions of construction companies and manage processes involving hundreds of apartments, even when customers are all moving in at the same time. The rental process must start early to maintain a high occupancy rate,” says Thomas Castrén, Investment Director at Sirius Capital Partners.

Digital tools have improved significantly over the past year, and our development requests have been implemented quickly.

Digital Tools Streamline Daily Operations

Collaboration is supported by Retta Management’s advanced digital services — particularly the Retta Insight tool, which Sirius uses daily. The tool replaces separate reports and provides all necessary information within seconds, reducing the need for manual data searches and follow-up inquiries.

In energy services, trend data that requires interpretation is regularly reviewed together.

“The digital tools have developed tremendously in the past year, and our feedback has been implemented quickly. The interface provides all the data we need instantly — no more juggling Excel sheets or sending unnecessary emails. We’re excited to see what further development brings, and we believe data-driven management will continue to improve,” says Stefan Wiklund, Investment Director at Sirius Capital Partners.

Retta Management’s high employee satisfaction also reflects the efficiency of their processes, which is important to us.

The Outcome: Returns for Investors and a Balanced Rental Policy

Sirius Capital Partners is very satisfied with the long-term and smooth collaboration with Retta Management. Weekly meetings efficiently cover current topics — audits, contract terminations, and challenges related to individual apartments. Retta Management’s Customer Manager, Taru Nurmi, coordinates Sirius’ entire service package, streamlining cooperation and ensuring questions are promptly directed and answered.

“Taru is a top professional who proactively reminds us of the different operating models in our various buildings. We’re extremely satisfied with Retta Management’s work and their low-threshold contact model, which allows us to communicate directly with either our account manager or a specialist. Retta Management’s high employee satisfaction demonstrates effective internal processes — something we value highly,” Castrén adds.

With Retta Management’s support, Sirius can deliver the best possible returns to its investors by ensuring each asset performs at its full potential.

“This doesn’t mean charging the highest possible rents, which could increase tenant turnover. The right rent level helps prevent vacancy periods and positively impacts other key figures as well. Thanks to our effective cooperation and Retta Management’s processes, occupancy rates remain high and we achieve financial benefits,” says Wiklund.
