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.

Revenue model

1. Land Parcel Sales and Ground Lease: SADC generates revenue primarily through the sale of land parcels and issuance of long-term ground leases to companies establishing facilities on its developed business parks (Schiphol Trade Park, De President, Schiphol Logistics Park, PolanenPark, Business Park Amsterdam Osdorp). Revenue is realized through one-time land transaction fees and ongoing ground lease arrangements.
2. Park Management Services: SADC provides ongoing park management services to tenant businesses, including sustainability consulting, mobility solutions, waste management coordination, and infrastructure maintenance through affiliated entities (e.g., STP Services). Revenue is generated through service fees charged to tenant companies on the business parks.
3. PHB — Advisory Services: Through the PHB (Programma Herstructurering Bedrijventerreinen) program, SADC delivers free advisory services to businesses and municipalities across the Metropoolregio Amsterdam (MRA) for area quality improvement and sustainability. PHB is financed by the MRA with support from Plabeka and Provincie Noord-Holland, offsetting operational costs.
