What Retail Property Management (rpm) B.v. does

Retail Property Management (RPM) B.V. is a privately held Dutch commercial real estate advisory firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Amstelveen, Netherlands. The firm provides advisory services exclusively on the tenant side, helping national retail chains with expansion, rent negotiations, lease administration, and market analysis across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. RPM's core offering is organized into four service lines: Vastgoedmanagement (property management covering acquisition, relocation, negotiations, contracts, and data management), Huurprijsherziening (rent revision under Article 303 of the Dutch Civil Code), Vastgoedstrategie (location advisory using a demographic database and local market knowledge), and Vastgoedadministratie (administrative services covering service costs, indexations, contract durations, and payments). The firm differentiates itself through a 100% tenant-representation model, eliminating landlord-side conflicts of interest.

RPM serves an enterprise client base that includes Douglas, C&A, Bristol, ANWB, KPN, Xenos, Wibra, Toolstation, Livera, The English Hatter, Anytime Fitness, Duifhuizen, Helder Opticiens, Hans Anders, Media Markt, and others. The firm operates as a relationship-driven, sales-led B2B professional services practice with quote-based engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is generated through advisory and management service fees. Marketing is conducted primarily through direct client engagement, a corporate website (rpmretail.nl) that publishes transaction case studies, a LinkedIn presence, and industry recognition — most notably a #5 ranking in PropertyNL's Top 75 Advisors in the Retail & Horeca category in 2025.

Ownership and leadership sit with Maarten van der Steuijt (Director-CEO), who took over the firm from his father Joop van der Steuijt in 2021. The team currently comprises approximately five professionals, including senior portfolio managers with prior experience at G-Star, A.S. Watson, DTZ Zadelhoff, WE Fashion, FNG Group, Ahold, and Suit Supply. Multi-country delivery is supported by a dedicated Belgium lead (Ann-Sophie Humblé, BIV-registered) and German-market senior staff (Urban Plattes and Volker Poier). RPM is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or M&A activity; no funding rounds, patents, or technology platform underpin the practice.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE: International real estate advisory firm that acted as landlord-side advisor to ANGELO GORDON/CAIRN/NEOO on the C&A Rotterdam flagship transaction RPM advised the tenant on. Competes with RPM for retail real estate mandates in the Netherlands but offers a far broader service portfolio including capital markets and investment sales.
• Savills: International real estate advisory with retail tenant representation services across Europe. Competes for the same retail mandates as RPM and operates with broader capabilities but a similarly relationship-driven retail agency model.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global real estate advisory firm named explicitly in RPM's partnerships data as a landlord-side counterparty on the Douglas deal in Sint-Truiden. Operates broadly in commercial real estate advisory including retail tenant and landlord representation across Europe; far larger portfolio of services than RPM but overlapping on retail tenant mandates.
• Colliers: Global real estate advisory with retail agency and tenant representation services across Europe. Comparable to RPM in retail tenant mandates but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic reach, competing on the same enterprise retail client pool.
• JLL: Global real estate services firm with retail tenant representation capabilities across Europe. Competes for the same enterprise retail mandates RPM serves (Douglas, C&A, ANWB) but operates as a broad incumbent offering investment, valuation, and capital markets services alongside agency work.
• DTZ Zadelhoff (now Cushman & Wakefield): Heritage Dutch real estate advisory firm where RPM team member Radboud Kloos gained his first real estate experience. Now operating under the Cushman & Wakefield brand but historically a direct competitor to RPM in Dutch retail real estate advisory.
• Healey & Baker (Cushman & Wakefield heritage): Heritage UK/European retail real estate advisory now operating under Cushman & Wakefield. Competes with RPM for pan-European retail tenant mandates from major chains, with a stronger UK base but similar European retail real estate focus.

Direct peers

• KroesePaternotte: Dutch real estate advisory firm explicitly named as the landlord-side advisor on the Douglas Nieuwendijk Amsterdam deal RPM advised the tenant on. Direct competitor in the Dutch retail real estate advisory market, frequently on the opposite side of transactions from RPM.
• Spring Real Estate: Dutch boutique real estate advisory firm focused on retail and commercial property in the Netherlands. Direct peer to RPM with similar boutique tenant-representation positioning and likely overlap on the same PropertyNL Top 75 Advisors ranking.
• Avenue Real Estate: Dutch real estate advisory firm that acted as landlord-side advisor on the Douglas Mechelen opening, on the opposite side of the transaction from RPM. Direct competitor in Benelux retail real estate advisory with similar boutique positioning.
