Bridges Real Estate acquires 128 apartments in Bilthoven

Bridges Real Estate, controlled by the Vermaat family, has purchased 128 apartments on Spreeuwlaan and Kramsvogellaan in Bilthoven. The homes are in two identical eight-storey blocks with a total area of approximately 10,600 sq. m, each consisting 64 apartments of various sizes: 51, 87 and 106 sq. m.

Excellent amenities and central location

The centre of Bilthoven and shopping district De Kwinkelier are within walking distance of the location, providing residents with a wide choice of local and regional retail, dining and café options.

Bilthoven is located in a largely rural area in the central Netherlands. Its railway station offers fast links with Utrecht and other major cities in the Randstad, whilst the proximity of the A27 and A28 motorways makes it easily accessible by car.

Sustainability and renovation

Bridges Real Estate sees a promising future for the two blocks, making them an excellent addition to its portfolio. “Our ambition is always to add value to real estate,” says Paul Vermaat. “We are currently investigating opportunities to upgrade both blocks to make them more sustainable. For example, by renovating their frontages, walls and lobbies.”

Bridges was assisted commercially in this transaction by TW Real Estate. The vendor, a Dutch institutional investor, was supported by CBRE Capital Markets. Legal guidance was provided by VBC Notarissen.
