RE-USE Properties

What RE-USE Properties does

RE-USE Properties is a privately held Dutch real estate developer headquartered in Eindhoven that originates, develops, and delivers property transformation projects from its own initiative. The company acquires underutilized existing buildings — including churches, monasteries, former schools, retail spaces, offices, and a former police station — and converts them into modern residential apartments, care housing for elderly and dementia patients (WLZ-indicated), assisted living units, starter apartments, and, more recently, short-stay housing for international workers and mixed-use concepts that combine residential with self-storage.

Its core technology is conventional modern construction and sustainable building practice applied with sensitivity to historical building character; the firm preserves architectural heritage while meeting contemporary building standards. It does not employ proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or technology platforms, and its differentiation rests on construction know-how, permit expertise, and stakeholder management rather than intellectual property in technology.

Commercially, RE-USE operates as a principal developer: it funds and develops projects from acquisition through completion using a three-person core team (Sjoerd Carrière — acquisition and plan development; Marco van der Velden — construction engineering and cost control; Bart de Wert — execution), supplemented by fixed construction partners. Revenue is generated through long-term rental agreements with care operators (e.g., Ge-Woongroep, Beers Thuis, Het Andere Wonen) and enterprise tenants (e.g., HomeFlex), plus one-time sales of completed residential units to end-users. Pricing is negotiated project-by-project and is not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is relationship-led, supported by a website, Instagram presence, newsletter, community information evenings, and direct outreach to municipalities and care operators. The company has delivered 8 projects housing 200+ residents, with 6 projects in active development across the Netherlands.
