The property market is starting to recover again. The number of transactions is growing, the vacancy levels seem to be solvable and there are plenty of opportunities being created through transformation and renovation. Project development is in a state of flux with the focus firmly on the client. The reuse of existing property with attention for sustainability and energy efficiency has become an everyday challenge
For us, project development is a collective term for project development, redevelopment, renovation and transformation of property. The mutual cooperation between market players and cooperation with the government are central to this.
Highlighting legal aspects, risks and interests
In a dynamic process such as project development, different interests play a role and risks must be continually weighed up. Before it has been decided whether the planned new development or redevelopment will take place or be sold, investments will have already been made in construction plans, purchasing building land and concluding contracts.
Besides professional knowledge and an eye for the fiscal context, experience and knowledge about the market are also essential in this playing field. Due to our unique experience with large project developments for public authorities and private investors, we are well versed in all the legal aspects and we know exactly what the different interests are of the parties involved. We can point out legal and financial risks and offset these in agreements. In this way we can ensure a smooth cooperation between the parties involved during the implementation.
