Woonhave B.v.

What Woonhave B.v. does

Woonhave B.V. is a privately held Dutch residential property investor, developer, and landlord founded in 2014 and headquartered in Rotterdam. The company acquires, develops, and manages rental housing across the Netherlands, operating a portfolio of more than 5,000 homes that spans new construction and existing stock, with a mix of mid-rental, social housing, and private-sector units. Its geographic footprint covers cities including Rotterdam, Utrecht, Edam, Vlaardingen, Waddinxveen, Voorburg, and Zoetermeer, and recent development activity includes the Hart van Meerzicht transformation in Zoetermeer (86 apartments), the Willem project in Utrecht (62 apartments), De Botter in Edam (26 modular townhouses), and ongoing pipelines in Vlaardingen and Waddinxveen.

Woonhave's core technology footprint is modest and non-differentiated. The company offers "Mijn Woonhave," a self-service tenant portal that lets residents request repairs, report tenancy changes, terminate leases, and access documents, and "Huurdossier," a secure document upload system for prospective tenants during the rental application process. There is no indication of proprietary platforms, APIs, or in-house data systems; technology is positioned as operational tooling rather than a competitive lever. Distribution occurs directly via the Woonhave website with property listings and an online Rent Calculator, supplemented by real estate agents who handle viewings and process applications through Huurdossier.

The business model is rental income from owned residential real estate, complemented by development-driven portfolio growth through wholly-owned subsidiary Woonhave Development B.V. Qualification criteria for new tenants are income-based (gross monthly income approximately 3x basic rent, partner income at 50%, equity above €20,000 at 10% annual). Woonhave monetizes through recurring monthly rent and service costs on long-term tenancies, with future revenue expansion tied to delivery of new-build projects between 2024 and 2027. The company employs approximately 30 people and operates from a single Rotterdam office.
