Achmea Real Estate has acquired 128 apartments in Bilthoven on behalf of the Achmea Dutch Residential Impact Fund (ADRIF), with the ambition of making them more sustainable over the coming years. Tenants can expect enhanced living comfort and lower energy costs. This marks the first acquisition by the impact fund, which was established last year.
Achmea has purchased the two apartment complexes on Spreeuwlaan and Kramsvogellaan from a private investor. Tenants were informed earlier this week. The properties, with an average floor area of 83 square metres, were built in 1976 and predominantly carry an energy label D. Subject to tenant consent, Achmea initially aims to upgrade these to label A/A+, and subsequently to Paris Proof standards.
Upgrading to A/A+ will involve insulating the building envelope (including the roof and façade), installing solar panels and modernising building systems. Research conducted by BAM Wonen indicates that this can significantly reduce building-related gas and electricity consumption.
As a result, tenants in Bilthoven will benefit from improved comfort and lower energy bills. Despite a modest rent increase to cover the sustainability investments, total housing costs (rent and energy costs) are expected to remain stable or decrease slightly for residents. That is, if other factors (such as energy usage, energy prices or household size) remain unchanged.
