Fear of sharp price corrections due to high financing costs

Higher financing costs are a major reason why sentiment in the real estate investment market and for property development has turned abruptly in recent months. In several segments, interest costs are already substantially higher than initial yields. 'The math simply doesn't add up.'

Climate risk

Climate risk is now a reality which will impact current and future value of property. When we talk about climate risk, we invariably mean one of two things – the transitional risk of moving towards a low carbon economy or the physical risks associated with climate change.

City streets should not have cars

The arrival of the car has radically changed the spatial development of our cities and the infrastructure in the Netherlands.
In order to bring cars and freight traffic safely and quickly from A to B, highways and motorways, bridges and viaducts, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings were necessary.

City Limits: A Dated Phenomenon

Jeroen Lokerse argues that the larger Randstad region - from Arnhem, Almere, Rijnmond to Eindhoven - offers a unique opportunity for business and workers compared to world cities such as London and Paris where urban living and suburban living could be at prices that are unthinkable for residents of London, Paris or, for example, Toronto.

The Netherlands is missing out on opportunities

Business location criteria, will more than products or services, determine if organisations succeed or fail. The Netherlands must maintain its attractive position as the ‘gateway to Europe’ and businesses must establish themselves in locations with the best access to the labour market and working environments.
