About the partnership

Revive Fund Management, a certified B-Corp specializing in Benelux housing and PATRIZIA, a leading global real assets investor, have formed a €75 million fund to develop sustainable housing in the region. This partnership will repurpose outdated office buildings into high-quality, energy-efficient homes, addressing the critical shortage of affordable housing in the Benelux. Sustainability is paramount, with a focus on achieving EPC A ratings, zero operational carbon emissions, and ambitious embodied carbon reduction targets. Beyond environmental considerations, the fund will prioritize community well-being, fostering social engagement and addressing issues like social isolation. This initiative aligns with Revive’s impact strategy and fits the goals determined in our IRIS model.

Our partnership with Revive leverages their extensive expertise in the Benelux affordable housing market and sustainable construction. Together, we are committed to addressing the urgent need for high-quality, affordable housing for key workers, delivering impactful solutions where they are most needed. The platform has the potential to deliver real social value, as well as attractive risk-adjusted returns, strengthening our purpose of building communities and sustainable futures. The launch of this partnership marks an exciting next step in our ambition to house 7,500 people in affordable and social homes through our pan-European impact investment strategy.

Marleen Bekkers
Fund Manager, PATRIZIA Sustainable Communities

In the current economic environment, the need for housing options that connect communities has never been bigger. Together with PATRIZIA, we aim to fulfil our ambition of addressing the ever-growing shortage of affordable housing in the Benelux. This strategy will set a benchmark for delivering environmentally and socially sustainable housing for a market segment that today is undersupplied.
