Bouwinvest Residential Fund sells 205 homes in Amsterdam
May 1, 2026
Bouwinvest Residential Fund has sold part of its residential portfolio on Java Island and in Sloten, Amsterdam, to an international real estate investor. The sale of the 205 homes is part of a broader strategic portfolio rotation aimed at freeing up capital. The capital will be used, among other things, to invest in new projects, like the recently announced large-scale development Eleven Square.
The housing market faces a strong need for momentum and new capital to address the housing shortage. By divesting existing assets, the necessary financial capacity is created to develop new, future-proof homes. The sale of the 205 homes is a logical step within this strategy.
“The sale of homes is necessary to enable the construction of new housing,” said Paul van Stiphout, Fund Manager Residential Investments. “In the current challenging investment climate, portfolio rotation is essential to continue contributing to the growth of the Dutch housing stock. While we understand that a sale may raise questions, in practice nothing changes for existing residents in terms of their living situation or legal protection.”
For current tenants, all statutory rights and tenant protections remain in place. Good landlordship and the position of residents is safeguarded through Article 7:206 of the Dutch Civil Code, the Good Landlordship Act and the IVBN Code of Conduct.
