Sustainability upgrade and maintenance in Bachdreef, Harderwijk in full swing
Real estate investor Altera has acquired 50 apartments in the Terras aan de Schie project on behalf of the Altera Residential Fund. Terras aan de Schie will transform a former office building in the city of Schiedam into a residential tower with office spaces and commercial facilities. The residential complex consists of 130 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments of between 65 and 85 m² with energy label A++. Fifty of these properties have been purchased by Altera, with the remainder sold on the private market. The ground floor will house a supermarket and other commercial units.
Terras aan de Schie is the first project to be delivered as part of the SchieDistrict area development, a large-scale, sustainable approach designed to take urbanisation, social inclusion and quality of life in Schiedam to the next level.
Location
The complex is very centrally located: not only adjacent to Schiedam station with its high-speed rail links to Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam, but also offering ready access to the A20 motorway and situated opposite U Vastgoed’s latest real estate development s’MAAK Schiedam. The city centre, with its wide range of amenities, is within walking distance.
Jaap van der Bijl, Altera CEO: “With the purchase of 50 fully let apartments in Terras aan de Schie, we are confirming our commitment to accessible and sustainable rental housing at the heart of urban centres. Terras aan de Schie is not only centrally located, but also reflects our long-term vision of investing in future-proof housing concepts with an eye for accessibility, energy efficiency and quality of life.”
This sale fulfils the Municipality of Schiedam’s ambition to make part of the project accessible to the rental segment.
De Mik Real Estate Partners took care of the commercial side of the transaction, with Eversheds Sutherland providing legal support and overseeing the delivery. VB&T Vastgoedmanagement will manage the property on behalf of Altera. Ooms Makelaars, in addition to handling the sale of the remaining apartments to private buyers, also took care of renting the 50 apartments acquired by Altera.
