We give existing real estate its next chapter.

About Laurus

Existing real estate is full of untapped potential. We identify opportunities, unlock value and create lasting returns for properties, investors and the communities around them.

Laurus is a real estate investor and developer focused on existing urban real estate. We invest in residential assets, mixed use developments and strategic redevelopment opportunities. High quality buildings, sustainability and long term value creation are at the core of everything we do.

Existing real estate demands vision, experience and commitment. From acquisition through to asset management, we manage the entire real estate lifecycle in house. This enables us to move quickly, recognise opportunities early and create lasting value.

Our expertise

We unlock the potential of existing real estate. Through redevelopment, repositioning, and transformation, we give existing buildings a new future without compromising their character. By revitalising predominantly pre-war properties, we create high-quality buildings built for the future.

Laurus Vastgoed invests in urban real estate with a long-term vision. We focus on existing properties, whether fully residential or a mix of residential and commercial spaces. Our investment volume ranges from individual units to complete portfolios and entire residential blocks. We partner with private investors, family offices, and other stakeholders to invest in properties with significant potential. Whenever possible, we co-invest alongside our partners, ensuring our interests are aligned and that we approach every project as if it were our own. We select buildings where people enjoy living and working, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into their surroundings. This approach delivers healthy returns for our investors while making a positive contribution to the city.

Investments

Not every property owner wants to take on development themselves. And not every investor has the time, knowledge, or network to identify the right opportunities. Laurus brings these worlds together. Do you own property but lack the expertise to develop it independently? We would love to enter into a partnership with you. As a full-service development partner, we manage the entire development process, whether through joint ownership or on a delegated basis. From acquisition to development, leasing, and management, we oversee the complete journey. We take responsibility, keep communication lines short, and ensure that plans are actually executed. We believe that the best collaborations happen when everyone shares the same interests. That is why we don't just invest on behalf of our partners, but alongside them. This ensures commitment, careful decision-making, and a focus on the long term.

Development Partnerships

Our asset management approach is hands-on and results-driven. By staying close to our properties, we determine the right strategy and continuously focus on value creation and returns. From executing business plans and managing tenant relationships to overseeing renovations and technological upgrades, we are actively involved in every phase of management. This is how we maximize the value, performance, and future-readiness of our real estate portfolio.

Team

Laurus is led by three partners, each bringing a distinct background and expertise in real estate, investment, and development. From our Amsterdam office, we work daily on the acquisition, development, and management of real estate.

We combine our knowledge and experience for every investment, looking beyond the numbers to consider the location, the building’s potential, and its long-term value. This enables us to make well-considered decisions and act quickly when opportunities arise.

Being a small, hands-on, and entrepreneurial team ensures short lines of communication; you deal directly with the partners and always know exactly who you are working with. That personal commitment remains constant, from the initial introduction to the project's completion.
