Obos is a Norwegian housing cooperative that focuses on developing and managing residential properties. Founded in 1929, it aims to provide affordable housing options for its members. The organization operates primarily in Norway and emphasizes sustainable living and community development. Members of Obos can purchase shares in the cooperative, which grants them the right to live in the properties managed by the organization. This model allows for a more democratic approach to housing, as decisions are made collectively. Obos also invests in various urban development projects to enhance living conditions in Norwegian cities.
