Brownfield Development

How do you create a new future for urban areas while enhancing the natural environment? Through brownfield development, we're creating opportunities for doing just that! As experts in sustainable redevelopment, we're excited to share our vision.

What is Brownfield Development?

A brownfield site is a location with outdated or underutilised real estate. While these properties often occupy strategic locations, they no longer meet modern standards. Through intelligent redevelopment, we transform these spaces into sustainable properties with renewed economic value. We replace aging, inefficient buildings with modern facilities that create new employment opportunities, utilise space more effectively, and achieve high energy efficiency. This approach contributes to a healthy working and living environment.

Brownfield vs. Greenfield Development

Along with brownfield development, there's also greenfield development. The key difference? Brownfield focuses on existing locations, while greenfield involves new developments on undeveloped land. Greenfield development often raises concerns about environmental impact and the increasing presence of large-scale warehousing. Brownfield development offers a solution: we focus on existing locations, utilising them more intelligently, building higher, and operating more efficiently.

Benefits of Brownfield Development for Investors

The real estate market continuously seeks space, making brownfield development an excellent choice. Here are the key advantages:

Existing Infrastructure

With brownfield developments, we work with proven business locations. You'll benefit immediately from existing facilities such as roads and transport networks. This not only reduces development costs but also minimises environmental impact through smart reuse of the area.

Prime Locations

Many brownfield sites occupy strategic positions, often within or near urban centres. This means direct access to workforce, public transport, and amenities. By sustainably renovating outdated commercial properties, we create value without adding pressure to green zones or urban areas.

Sustainability

By redeveloping existing locations sustainably, we contribute to responsible urban management. We reduce the need for new construction on undeveloped land, preserving natural environments. Through energy-efficient designs and green technology, we minimise your investment's ecological footprint.

Waalwijk DC Project

In Waalwijk, we transformed a former concrete factory into a modern headquarters and distribution centre for SIG Benelux. Creating over 14,000 m² of logistics space, we developed a sustainable business park in a strategic location.

We took a comprehensive approach to this redevelopment. Our professionals first mapped all the site aspects: from existing utilities to soil quality. Through thorough preparation, we secured the appropriate zoning changes, arranged the requisite environmental permits, and provided for the proper nitrogen emissions and electrical connections. The result? A future-proof, multi-functional business park. Read more about this case study here.
