Iconic Real Estate
Active in-house asset & property management and sustainability as the foundation for long-term returns.
Preparing our icons of yesterday for the challenges of tomorrow.
By actively managing our buildings with our in-house team, we reduce operational costs and improve tenant satisfaction. Our direct involvement with tenants also promotes a sustainable long-term relationship and return.
With our sustainability efforts, we want to make our buildings, some of which are classified as ‘immovable heritage’, future-proof, ensuring that our icons of yesterday are ready for the challenges of tomorrow. Innovative technologies are used to reduce environmental impact and improve energy efficiency. In this way we contribute to broader goals such as CO2 reduction and improving the living environment. Our forward-looking approach not only ensures sustainable financial returns but also the continued usability of our architectural gems for future generations.
Through the synergy between active management and sustainability, we not only generate economic value but also create a positive impact on the community and the environment. This approach ensures the long-term appeal and value of our iconic real estate.
Our approach.
To ensure success, we opt for an investment approach characterized by thoughtfulness, a sustainability vision, pricing discipline, transparency and high ethical standards.
