What Timeless Investments does

Timeless Investments is a privately held, family-owned entrepreneurial investment office headquartered in Amsterdam, founded in 2000 by Hans van Veggel on the foundation of Multi Development Corporation (established 1982, which developed 180+ award-winning inner-city shopping centres across Europe). The firm operates across direct real estate development, real estate investment management, and private equity through a portfolio of wholly-owned and jointly-controlled affiliate companies, with Bas and Tim van Veggel now leading the business as second generation. Its operating platforms include COD (Cradle of Development, ranked the most productive developer in the Netherlands with EUR 2Bn+ of investment value and 6,500+ residential units under development), ZOM Living (US multifamily developer, ~24,500 units delivered at >USD 5Bn aggregate value, currently 6,700 units in construction/pre-development), GEM Real Estate (Dutch logistics platform founded 2024 with Willem Slager and Tristan Capital Partners), ZRS Management (US residential property manager with 1,500+ FTEs and ~85,000-90,000 units under management), StoneBridge Investments (Washington DC-based US multifamily asset manager with a >USD 1Bn track record averaging 17% IRR), B. Amsterdam (a 63,000 m2 startup campus, founded 2013, with planned 200,000 m2 expansion), and The Timeless Foundation (charitable arm focused on education, nature, art, and healthcare).

The company monetizes across multiple revenue streams: development fees and property sales (one-time, via COD, ZOM Living, GEM); asset management fees and carried interest from co-investment partnerships with institutional investors (recurring, via StoneBridge and direct mandates exceeding EUR 0.5Bn AUM); third-party property management fees (recurring, via ZRS); rental income and value appreciation from owned assets (via B. Amsterdam and direct holdings); and transaction-linked private equity returns. Its go-to-market is relationship-based and institutionally-oriented, engaging large institutional investors as co-GPs and limited partners, Dutch and European family offices, and high-net-worth individuals; the firm has no public marketing, no pricing transparency, and reaches investors through personal relationships, industry events (e.g., Provada), and press coverage. Geographic activity spans the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Turkey, and the United States.

The business model is unusual among family offices: rather than acting purely as a passive allocator, Timeless builds and holds long-duration operating businesses across the real estate lifecycle, using permanent patient capital to pursue generational strategies, integrated platform synergies, and general-partnership roles in large value-add operations alongside institutional investors.

Direct peers
