European fintech refocuses on upcycling old buildings, invests €80M in 6 countries

InRento has unveiled a new platform and a refreshed brand to reflect its larger mission in real estate investment. InRento is a European platform that makes it simple to invest in real estate conversions and restorations, with capital requirements as low as 500€.

The latest rebrand marks a new chapter for the company, with a focus on supporting projects that help shape vibrant and sustainable cities.

Better cities through real estate conversions

Since its launch in 2020, InRento has supported 177 real estate projects totaling more than 80 million euros in investments from over 4,000 investors. These projects have included urban conversions, hotels, and renovations, spanning six countries across Europe.

Investors have already received over 27 million euros in repaid capital and earned average returns of 11 percent per year.

“Across Europe, there is vast potential in transforming older or underused buildings into new spaces for living, working, and culture,” says Gustas Germanavičius, CEO and Founder of InRento. “By funding these conversions, our investors are making European cities more livable and efficient while also building long-term value for themselves.”

Investing in urban potential

The shift at InRento is not just about numbers on a balance sheet. Projects funded through the platform have already helped revive more than 111,000 square meters of real estate, turning once-empty or neglected buildings into homes, hotels, and cultural spaces people use every day.

By working with structures that already exist, developers can move faster, reduce costs, and create accessible housing and community assets. Additionally, opting for conversions rather than constructing new buildings results in around 30% less CO2 emissions, making these projects more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

This approach means investors, residents, and city communities all gain from projects that respect urban history while meeting current needs.

“As someone who grew up in Lithuania, seeing beautiful but unused buildings in our cities, helping to bring these places back to life means a lot to me personally,” said Germanavičius. “We want to keep working with our investors to create spaces that matter for people and for cities.”
