Altera Vastgoed has reached an agreement with Vastbouw Vastgoedontwikkeling to acquire 174 new single-family houses in Almere. The development project, known as ’t Groene Wold, consists of eight courtyards with a total of 372 single-family houses. Altera is acquiring 174 houses spread across three sub-sectors of the project. The residential blocks include corner and terraced houses between 80 and 104m². 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. The purchase price was not disclosed.

 

Altera’s CEO, Jaap van der Bijl, said: “With this purchase 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.”

 

In line with the move away from gas heating, all houses will have access to an energy system consisting of an individual air-water heat pump and 12 solar panels. Residents will generate their own electricity to heat and cool their homes. All these sustainable applications will ensure an Energy Performance Coefficient of 0.0. At the ‘t Groene Wold development rainwater is harvested and stored alongside surface water in wadis and a large pond. Vegetation and planting are highly diverse at ‘t Groene Wold and around 50% of the area will be designated as urban agriculture. The total unpaved area will be above-average compared to other residential estates. The combination of unpaved areas, the significant amount of surface water and vegetation makes this a residential estate that is more climate change resilient.

 

‘t Groene Wold is part of the Oosterwold district on the eastern side of Almere. Oosterwold can be characterised as a peaceful countryside location with easy access to the city and other facilities. The many amenities nearby include various supermarkets and small-scale shops.
