To this end, we deploy our skills and broad real estate knowledge throughout our entire organization. Just like our real estate data (> 35 years of data) and supporting digital tools and dashboards.

We can help you with:

Strategy consulting

The world is changing and so is the real estate market. This requires a strategic view of your real estate portfolio, of your accommodation, whether you are an investor, user, financier or policy maker. Our strategy consultants are happy to think along with you. We know the real estate market like no other, including the investor, financing and user market and the public sector. The strength of our approach is the combination of data-driven strategy and execution. We are able to translate general macroeconomic trends into real estate and the impact and opportunities for your real estate. Conversely, we can also provide advice at the local, regional and national aggregation level starting from the movements at address level. Our advice focuses on area, portfolio and building level.

Sustainability

Future-proof and specific sustainability are increasingly important in our advice. In the coming years, multiple stakeholders - the government, financiers, investors and users - will focus specifically on the sustainability performance of your real estate; focused on the climate agreement (Paris proof), mitigating climate risks, impact investing, the UN Sustainable development goals and reporting in accordance with GRI and to GRESB. Our sustainability consultants support our clients on a daily basis with sustainability-related issues, often as part of a strategic partnership. In our advice, we focus on important developments in the field of sustainability.

Area development

The change in the real estate market is prompted by economic, demographic, social and technological developments, but also by perceptions and preferences that vary over time. Major social issues such as the energy transition, housing and the urbanization challenge require a large-scale, area-oriented approach in which public planning is coordinated with necessary investments from collaborating public and private parties. Cushman & Wakefield advises a wide range of developers, investors, owner-users, municipalities and other government parties by providing insight into the feasibility of (re) development and transformation of both areas and buildings, optimizing the value for (end) users and owners and perform the eventual development, rental, and / or sale. Through a multidisciplinary and goal-oriented process approach, Cushman & Wakefield generates integrated environmental quality in the form of a maximized use value, amenity value and future value for the area, real estate, (end) users and residents.

Market Intelligence

Market Intelligence focuses on creating data-driven real estate insights to strengthen the business of our clients. The basis of our analyzes, benchmarks, dashboards and insights lies in our data. This has been collected internally since 1984 and enriched by our Research team, in collaboration with our real estate consultants who are commercially active in all regions of the Netherlands. This allows us to combine market knowledge with a local market feeling. It gives us the ability to determine trends at the national level while understanding local market sentiment. The combination of our market data with external data and customer data creates unique insight and offers a stable basis to strengthen the business activities and strategy of our clients. Our Market Intelligence Tools provide them with the opportunity to access our detailed level of knowledge.

The smart Smart City

A fully digital city is like working completely from home due to corona: all spontaneity and creativity disappear like snow in the sun. Living in the city only gives energy when the city is bustling with activity and at the same time provides peace of mind when you need it.

Insights • Sustainability / ESG

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.

De Randstad loopt leeg card
Insights

The Randstad is emptying out

The initial cause of this has everything to do with supply and demand. For years there has been a chronic shortage of affordable housing in the Randstad, the economic heart of the Netherlands. This applies to both starters in the buyers' market and middle incomes in the tenant market.

Auto de stad uit card
Insights • Sustainability / ESG

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.

Groene steden
Insights • Sustainability / ESG

A city full of green is not valued enough

A green environment or fresh air is not often a reason to live in a city, rather the opposite. It is often a reason to escape the city at the weekend and visit nature, or even to live elsewhere.
