What VDP Vastgoed does

VDP Vastgoed is a privately held, family-owned Dutch real estate company operating as both a residential and commercial landlord and as a self-developer (Project Ontwikkeling) in West-Nederland. The company is headquartered in Katwijk aan Zee (Zuid-Holland) and operates through a group of related legal entities under the holding company Holdingmij. D. van der Plas B.V., including Buitenlust van der Plas B.V., D. van der Plas Onroerend Goed Katwijk B.V., and D. van der Plas Vastgoed. Its roots trace to the post-WWII reconstruction period (established circa 1945), and it has been continuously operated by the Van der Plas family across multiple generations.

The company runs two core business lines: VDP Vastgoed Woningverhuur, a rental operation covering single-family homes, apartments, commercial/retail/office spaces, and garages; and VDP Vastgoed Project Ontwikkeling, a development arm building new rental apartment complexes. Active projects include the 55-unit IKAROS complex in Zoetermeer (fully let as of May 2026) and the 28-unit Groen van Prinstererweg project in Katwijk Noord. New-build inventory is gas-free with heat pumps, video intercom, and elevator access. The company partners with Bouwbedrijf de Lange- van der Plas for construction.

Commercially, VDP Vastgoed uses a direct-to-consumer model with no waiting lists. Properties are listed on vdpvastgoed.nl with a 4-step online application (search/view, accept/document upload, contract signing, key handover); tenants must meet a 2.5x income threshold relative to monthly rent. Pricing for apartments ranges from €1,215 to €1,650 base rent plus €50-80 service costs and €25 kitchen appliance fees; parking sells for €79-90/month. Revenue is recurring monthly via automatic debit. The company is GDPR (AVG) compliant, employs approximately 6 staff, and operates without external investment or public listing.
