What Workinn does

Workinn is a Dutch short-stay housing concept developed, built, and operated by Roozen van Hoppe Groep, a third-generation family-owned construction and development company founded in 1965 in Haghorst, Netherlands. Workinn develops purpose-built residential campuses providing furnished accommodation for international workers — primarily Polish nationals working in logistics and other essential sectors — under a municipal short-stay designation capped at six-month stays. The flagship Workinn Waalwijk campus, operational since approximately 2020, houses nearly 400 residents across three modern buildings, and two additional campuses (Moerdijk and Zwaagdijk-Oost / Zegersweel) are in development to extend the footprint to logistics and West-Friesland regions.

The core product is fully furnished apartments organized as private bedrooms within shared units (up to six residents per apartment) with shared kitchens and bathrooms, complemented by on-site fitness, hospitality, and amenity spaces, plus 24/7 on-site management. All units hold SNF (Stichting Normering Flexwonen) certification for temporary-housing quality and safety. Sustainability features — solar panels and recycled concrete — are integrated into construction, and special couple's studios supplement the standard shared-apartment format. Operationally, residents are registered in collaboration with the host municipality, and short-stay status is approved by municipal decision.

Workinn runs a consultative, relationship-driven B2B go-to-market targeting three segments: Dutch municipalities (public-private partnerships addressing labor-housing and liveability challenges), employers and staffing agencies (housing-as-a-service for their international workforce), and the international workers themselves as end-users. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue accrues from short-stay rental agreements with utilities bundled in. The company is positioned against a structural Dutch labor shortage of approximately 50,000 international workers per year, serving a population of roughly 735,000 international workers who contribute 3.5% of Dutch GDP and fill 5% of all jobs.

Regional players

• Humanitas Housing (Diverse Werkgevers): Humanitas and similar Dutch non-profit and employer-cooperative housing initiatives provide managed housing for vulnerable international and migrant workers. While not directly competing on premium furnished product, they address the same Dutch labor-housing market segment.

Direct peers

• Holland2Stay: Holland2Stay is a Dutch short-stay housing provider targeting international workers and expats, with furnished apartments across multiple Dutch cities. It is the closest direct peer to Workinn, operating a similar furnished, short-term rental model for international labor in the Netherlands.
• The Student Hotel: The Student Hotel operates hybrid hotel-co-living properties in Dutch cities, offering furnished short-stay rooms with shared amenities. While primarily student-focused, the furnished short-stay model with shared kitchens, gyms, and community programming is highly comparable to Workinn's concept.
• Short Stay Group: Short Stay Group operates serviced apartments and short-stay residences across the Netherlands and Europe for business travelers and relocating workers. Its furnished apartment model for short-term corporate stays directly parallels Workinn's product offering.
• Stay Inc. Stay Inc. provides furnished mid- to long-stay housing for international professionals in the Netherlands, often partnering with employers. It directly competes with Workinn for the same international-worker and expat tenant pool in Dutch cities.

Broad incumbents

• Greystar (Dutch operations): Greystar is a global multifamily and student housing operator with Dutch operations. As a large incumbent in purpose-built rental housing, it provides competitive context for the operational and scale economics Workinn is pursuing in the Netherlands.
• Van der Valk / Fletcher (extended-stay adjacent): Van der Valk and similar Dutch hotel groups operate extended-stay and apartment-style lodging across the Netherlands, particularly near logistics hubs and business parks. While hotel-led rather than worker-housing-led, they serve overlapping short-stay demand for international workers in some segments.
• Reco (Vesteda): Reco, part of Vesteda, is a Dutch mid- and short-stay housing provider for international workers and expats with a large portfolio across the Netherlands. As a larger established operator, it offers overlapping furnished short-stay services but at broader scale across the country.

Emerging players

• ROBIN (formerly CitizenM-style Dutch housing): ROBIN provides flexible, furnished housing solutions in the Netherlands, often targeting international professionals and short-stay tenants. As an emerging Dutch flexible-housing brand, it competes for the same furnished short-stay demand pool as Workinn.
• Yes! Student Living: Yes! Student Living provides furnished, managed student housing in Dutch cities with private bedrooms and shared facilities. While its tenant focus is students rather than international workers, the purpose-built, fully managed furnished accommodation model is conceptually very similar to Workinn.
