Strategy
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.
Market developments
The ongoing market dynamics in the Netherlands are primarily shaped by volatile inflation, high interest rates, the transition to sustainable energy, and increased government regulation.
Units
The total number of residential units stood at 27,675 at year-end 2023, an increase of 14 units compared with year-end 2022.
Segmentation
At year-end 2023, 91% of the investment portfolio was located in Vesteda’s primary regions, in line with 2022.
Acquisitions and property sales
The macroeconomic conditions for the Dutch housing market did not improve significantly in 2023 and the developments described in the Market developments chapter resulted in an imbalance in the investment market.
Investments in quality and sustainability
We continued to actively create value and add quality in our existing portfolio, via renovations and sustainability improvements of selected assets.
