Roosdom Tijhuis Bonaire

What Roosdom Tijhuis Bonaire does

Roosdom Tijhuis Bonaire is a property developer-builder (ontwikkelende bouwer) operating exclusively on the island of Bonaire, a special municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Dutch Caribbean. The company is a subsidiary of Roosdom Tijhuis, a Dutch development builder headquartered in Rijssen, Twente, with 253 employees in the Netherlands, with the local entity (legal name Belle Aire Corporation N.V.) reporting 7 employees on Bonaire. It executes an end-to-end real estate development model covering land acquisition, planning, architectural design, construction, and sales under a single roof, sourcing approximately 80% of building materials from Europe to apply Dutch construction standards in the Caribbean market.

The company's revenue is driven primarily by one-time sales of freehold residential properties, with two active projects currently in the sales phase: Seru Blenchi, a 65-home neighborhood development in Gurubu featuring detached and semi-detached villas priced from $505,500 to $691,000; and Hòfi Azaléa, a 56-apartment development across four buildings in the Hato neighborhood, with units listed from $460,000 to $570,000. A secondary recurring revenue stream comes from storage unit rentals at Kaya Industria 23 (34m² units at $650/month). Customer segments include individual home buyers seeking permanent or long-term residence, second-home and vacation-home buyers from Europe, real estate investors, and local businesses renting storage. Distribution is hybrid: an in-house sales team plus a co-selling partnership with Sunbelt Realty Bonaire (25+ years of local market presence), supported by strategic partnerships with Orange Rock (co-investor), Wire Interiors (interior design), and Dutch architectural firms EVE Architecten and AG Architecten. Completed projects include the Delfins Beach Resort, Delfins Villas, Watervillas, staff housing in Belnem, and a multifunctional commercial building.

Others
