Background of Build

Build was founded in 2020 by three professionals who had earned their stripes in the financial sector and the real estate market. "On the one hand, we observed that financing real estate through major banks is becoming increasingly difficult under pressure from rising legislation and regulations, increasing capital requirements, and desired efficiency. We also see that institutional investors are increasingly seeking returns and that asset managers are actively responding to low and sometimes even negative interest rates on credit."

"From the consumer's perspective, owning a home is a vital necessity. Unfortunately, this is not within reach for everyone. However, the number of affordable rental homes has been steadily declining for some time. This is an undesirable situation in a socially oriented country like the Netherlands." By offering real estate financing ranging from 0.5 to 15 million euros for rented residential properties in the social and middle segments, Build is changing this. On balance, Build contributes to enabling more people to live sustainably in an affordable home.
