Sustainability
We develop balanced living environments in which residents and users feel comfortable. We do this by approaching urban development as a holistic ecosystem. This includes the crucial elements of nature, health, community, design & architecture, sustainability and economy. These form the building blocks of future-proof living and working environments.
Our projects go just a step further than the standard of today. For example, we set the sustainability bar higher than what the government requires of us. We launched our own Building Code, develop nature houses that are 95% made of natural materials such as straw and work with organisations such as the Netherlands Society for the Protection of Birds so that flora and fauna also feel at home.
We create our projects together with municipalities and large organisations such as NS or we initiate new projects from our land bank. Our end users are residents from all layers of society and companies from various sectors.
