Savills Investment Management is marking ten years in the Netherlands and looking to grow its Dutch portfolio. In an interview with PropertyNL at Expo Real in Munich, Edgar Hertog, Country Head Netherlands, outlined where the firm sees opportunity.
Key themes from the interview:
- Living: Savills IM is looking to expand its Dutch residential holdings with a long-term, income-focused approach, and sees stable rules as more important than the type of housing.
- Offices: The firm is seeking one or two assets in Amsterdam for a dedicated mandate, favouring well-connected locations in major cities.
- Logistics: Savills IM continues to look for opportunities for its mandates, and Hertog notes that logistics has matured into an established institutional asset class since 2016.
- Market outlook: Hertog sees initial yield movement in the Dutch market and expects further price adjustment, while international long-term investor interest in the Netherlands is returning.
