Jasper Petit, senior portfolio manager at Bouwinvest, said: “NREP is an excellent partner for us in this region and the strong underlying market fundamentals of the sectors we are targeting will help us realise our goal of generating a solid and attractive dividend for our client.”

It is a pleasure to work with an investor who also has high standards, a strong focus on their sustainability agenda as well as a long-term alignment with our own company in terms of their goal to improve the built environment to the benefit of customers, communities and cities.”
