EDGE Technologies

What EDGE Technologies does

EDGE Technologies (formerly OVG Real Estate) is a pan-European real estate developer, investor, and asset manager headquartered in Amsterdam, with offices in Berlin, London, Luxembourg, and Paris. Founded in 1997 by Coen van Oostrom, the company develops, retrofits, and manages sustainable, climate-neutral commercial buildings for large enterprise tenants and institutional investors, with €5.3 billion under development or management as of August 2025. Its portfolio includes flagship projects such as The Edge (BREEAM 98.4%), Valley (Emporis Skyscraper Award 2021), EDGE Suedkreuz Berlin (Germany's most sustainable building 2022), and EDGE East Side Berlin (the city's tallest office tower at 142m), with anchor tenants including Amazon, Vattenfall, Commerzbank, ING, Triodos Bank, Q Cells, and dsm-firmenich.

The technology stack is built around three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Next Sense (formerly EDGE Next), a cloud-based platform connecting plug-and-play multi-sensors that collect data on light, air quality, temperature, and sound pressure and automatically adjust building systems for energy efficiency and health standards; TPEX, an AI-driven performance optimization engine targeting 70 kWh/m²/year (Paris Proof) consumption; and EDGE Workspaces, a coworking operator. Edge Connect+ extends a connectivity/data offering to third parties. The company holds record sustainability certifications including BREEAM Outstanding, DGNB Platinum (95.4%), WELL V2 Platinum (world's first), and Paris Proof DGBC (first Dutch National Monument), and has set 1.5°C-aligned science-based decarbonization targets.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) real estate development fees and property sales from greenfield and brownfield projects (e.g., Cross Towers retrofit, Pulse of Amsterdam, Les Miroirs Paris); (2) recurring asset management fees from third-party institutional capital, including €456 million in mandates from German pension funds secured in 2025; and (3) investment returns and asset appreciation from owned properties. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large corporations and institutional investors across Western Europe, supported by thought-leadership marketing, industry events (e.g., ULI Europe, EXPO REAL), and an award-winning project portfolio as proof points. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

EDGE Technologies is a pan-European real estate platform that develops, invests in, and manages sustainable, experience-driven, climate-neutral commercial buildings, with EUR 5.3 billion of assets under development or management as of August 2025. The company combines real estate development, investment, and asset management with proprietary smart-building technology (Next Sense sensor/AI platform and TPEX energy optimization) to deliver premium office and mixed-use assets to large enterprise tenants and institutional investors.

Product overview

EDGE Technologies operates as a pan-European real estate development platform rather than a traditional software product company. The core offering consists of sustainable, smart buildings developed, managed, and invested in across Europe. The product portfolio includes real estate developments (Valley, Triodos, EDGE Suedkreuz Berlin, EDGE East Side Berlin) and three technology subsidiaries: Next Sense (smart building operations platform), TPEX (energy optimization), and EDGE Workspaces (coworking spaces). Edge Connect+ represents an additional technology service. Buildings are developed using data insights, simulations, and AI control to create experience-driven and climate-neutral properties.
