At home with Vesteda. This applies to our tenants, the investors who invest in our fund and the employees who work at our company. Our mission is to make sure our key stakeholders feel at home with Vesteda.

Segmentation
At year-end 2022, 91% of the investment portfolio was located in Vesteda’s primary regions, in line with 2021.
Acquisitions and property sales
Current macro-economic developments, rising inflation, high interest rates and increased real estate transfer tax, are driving significant yield expansion for residential investment product.
