What GREEN does

Green Real Estate B.V. is a privately held, family-owned Dutch real estate investor, developer, and asset/property manager headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn. Founded in 2005 by Aart Jan Verdoold and Jan Zeeman, the company operates as part of V.o.Zee (Verenigde Ondernemingen Zeeman), which also houses Zeeman textielSupers and investment firm Navitas Capital. Green invests, develops, and manages a diversified portfolio of mixed-use real estate across the Netherlands, spanning retail centers (Baronie, GoStores Gouda and Roosendaal, Rozenhof Zaandam), office buildings (notably the A++ Antea Group office in Almere), and residential developments at scale (Baronie Haven, The Hive Amsterdam, Kappa & Omega Leiden, LUNA IJsselstein, Raadhuys Vught, and the World Food Center Ede JV with BPD and Van Wijnen for ~700 energy-neutral homes).

The company's technical and product positioning centers on sustainability: climate-adaptive building design, gas-less construction, individual air/water heat pumps, heat-recovery ventilation systems achieving EPC scores below 0.4 (LUNA), circular construction principles (The Hive), and nature-inclusive materials with green roofs and facades (WFC Ede). Construction partners include Heddes, Heembouw, Kolpa Architecten, and OZ Architect; co-development partners include housing corporations De Sleutels and Stichting Jakas for mixed-tenure residential schemes. The Hive Amsterdam won the MIPIM Award 2025 (Best New Development), and WFC Ede won the SKG Publieksprijs 2024.

Green's revenue model combines three streams: (1) recurring rental income from owned commercial and residential assets (long-term leases with national tenants such as Albert Heijn, Vomar, Smyths Toys, Bristol, Action, X2O, and enterprise tenants such as Antea Group), (2) one-time property sales of pre-sold apartments and penthouses (e.g., Raadhuys Vught fully pre-sold at construction start), and (3) managed services for asset and property management delivered through an in-house team of ~30 professionals. Customer segments are primarily Dutch retail tenants, office tenants, housing corporations, and individual residential buyers/tenants, with significant project-level concentration risk in flagship assets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by asset class and location. The company operates under IVBN membership (joined October 2025) and is led by CEO Gerard Kohsiek (appointed September 2024).
