As a responsible investment manager, Bouwinvest strives to ensure a sufficient supply of affordable housing and healthcare-related real estate and is actively involved in ongoing talks between the government, the Dutch Association of Institutional Real Estate Investors in the Netherlands (IVBN), Holland Metropole and local authorities on how this can be achieved.

As a build-to-rent investor, Bouwinvest is also helping to reduce the housing shortage. Affordable rental housing accounted for 70% of new investments in the Netherlands in 2023, including projects in Alphen aan den Rijn and Pijnacker. All investments relate to Healthcare investments, no Residential investments were made.

The invested capital of the Healthcare Fund, including secured pipeline of € 280 million, increased by € 176 million compared last year to a toal of € 790 million. This includes projects in The Hague, Zaandam and Hoofddorp. Bouwinvest is aware that it will require an acceleration in the build-up of its Healthcare portfolio over the coming years in order to better address these targets.
