Christian Schouten, Head of Dutch Transaction Management at Bouwinvest, says: “For active portfolio management, it is essential to find the right timing for acquisitions, but certainly also for divestments. This sale shows that, even under current market conditions, the fund is able to generate liquidity for its investors.”

Daniëlle Schoonbrood, Investment Director, explains the reasoning behind the acquisition on behalf of Daelmans Vastgoed: “We are proud to announce the purchase of 121 homes in Lelystad, the vast majority with an energy label A, as part of our future-proof investment strategy. This investment underlines our promotion of ‘green’ and energy-efficient living, while we are also contributing to more sustainable living environments.”

Jens van Hasenbroek, director at Capital Value: “There was very strong investor interest in acquiring these properties. This transaction shows that there is confidence in Dutch residential investment market. The demand for existing properties is still very high.”
