Real estate investor Altera Vastgoed NV (Altera) has agreed to acquire 174 new single-family homes in Almere from Vastbouw Vastgoedontwikkeling B.V. (Vastbouw).

The development project, known as ’t Groene Wold, consists of eight courtyards with a total of 372 single-family homes. Altera is acquiring 174 houses spread across three sub-sectors of the project. The residential blocks include corner and terraced houses between 80 and 104 sq. m. Each house has a spacious back garden of between 12 and 17 metres, complete with a shed. Residents can park on-street in the courtyard complex. The corner houses have on-drive parking for two cars.

“With this acquisition we further meet the need for young families for affordable single-family homes in the Randstad conurbation. This project is not only affordable, but it also meets our high standards when it comes to sustainability. The project fits perfectly into our sustainable young housing portfolio which GRESB recently applauded as the world’s most sustainable residential fund,” said Altera’s CEO, Jaap van der Bij.
