What SADC does
SADC (Schiphol Area Development Company) is a Dutch private area development company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Schiphol, Netherlands, that develops and manages high-quality, sustainable business parks in the Amsterdam–Schiphol metropolitan corridor. The company operates a portfolio of six business parks — Schiphol Trade Park (350 hectares, BREEAM-NL certified), Bedrijvenpark De President, Schiphol Logistics Park, PolanenPark, Business Park Amsterdam Osdorp, and Green Park Aalsmeer — collectively home to a mix of international logistics, electronics, manufacturing, fashion, hospitality, and public-transport tenants including MEAN WELL Europe, HIKVISION, Somfy, Kerry Logistics, STULZ, Scotch & Soda, Transdev/Connexxion, and Hotel De President.
Its core technology stack centers on the Digital Twin of the Airport Corridor, a 2D/3D data-driven simulation platform co-developed with TU Delft, AMS Institute, Schiphol Group, and others for scenario testing across economic, accessibility, sustainability, and health outcomes; the Virtual Net, a virtual electricity network solution addressing grid congestion at Schiphol Trade Park; and the Ecomonitor sustainability tracking tool. The company complements these with innovation programs such as Leefbaar & Gezond and the annual Techathon competition.
SADC's revenue model combines one-time land parcel sales and long-term ground leases with recurring park management services (via affiliated entities like STP Services) and publicly financed advisory work through the PHB program across ~250 business parks in the Metropoolregio Amsterdam. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B, executed through direct sales to international site selectors, public tenders (e.g., TenderNed), and co-development partnerships with municipalities (Gemeente Haarlemmermeer, Gemeente Amsterdam), Provincie Noord-Holland, and Royal Schiphol Group.
