What Stadkwadraat does

Stadkwadraat BV is a Dutch specialized financial-economic advisory firm headquartered in De Bilt, with a second office in Arnhem, serving the gebiedsontwikkeling (area development) sector in the Netherlands. The firm provides consulting services to Dutch municipalities (primary segment), housing corporations, project developers, and healthcare institutions, covering feasibility studies, financial modeling, land exploitation calculations, cost recovery under the Omgevingswet (Environment and Planning Act), risk analysis (including Monte Carlo simulations), and strategic/tactical real estate management. The firm has been characterized in third-party sources as one of the larger advisory firms in Dutch area development.

Stadkwadraat's core offering combines professional services with proprietary calculation tools. The Grondwaardescan provides BBV-proof market-conform land pricing and substantiation for land exploitations. Citymaker, co-developed within the Citymakergroep alongside Common Affairs, Techniplan, and Objectum, is an interactive urban planning calculation program for municipalities, housing corporations, and project developers that surfaces effects of planning choices in real time. The periodic Prognose Parameters gebiedsontwikkeling publication delivers real estate market price and interest-rate forecasting grounded in the firm's long-running project portfolio. CoMaker, co-founded with STIPO and Vanschagen Architecten, extends the firm into execution as a real estate developer prioritizing social return alongside financial viability, and the Stadmakersfonds investment initiative (with the Province of Utrecht and Triodos Bank Nederland) gives the firm an investment-side presence in socially-oriented urban development.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (quote-based, project-specific engagements), supplemented by training revenue from the Cursus Kostenverhaal (€599 per person, €399 for Platform Kostenverhaal member municipalities) and recurring content products (seminars, podcasts, Prognose Parameters). The firm employs approximately 26 team members organized into partners, senior advisors, associate partners, advisors, and support staff across two offices. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales to enterprise and public-sector clients through professional networks, seminars, and content channels, with ISO 9001 certification signaling quality management discipline. Ownership is privately held among the named partner group (Jaap Zijda, Bart Oomens, Theo Stauttener, Christian van der Blonk, Chantal Robbe), with no external funding rounds disclosed.
