Impact
Making impact measurable
Impact must be measurable, we believe. Therefore, for all our projects, we map our 3E impact and turn it into concrete results for our portfolio. We do this together with our partners specialized in the emotional (Springco), ecological (Metabolic) & economic (Alba Concepts & Envalue) domain. We translate this 3E impact into both impact on the SDG (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals) and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria. We then include this in our annual reports. Curious about how much impact we make?
SDG and ESG
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals to make the world a better place by 2030. In 2015, all 193 member countries of the United Nations (UN) adopted these goals. For each domain, the goals we include are displayed. ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance. These are the three main criteria for measuring sustainability and form the basis of sustainable and responsible investing. European guidelines for this are set out in the SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) & CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). These are established by the European Commission in the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) as standards for sustainability reporting.
Emotional impact
Because of their treasured character, RE:BORN buildings are places of meaning. Buildings that connect with the city and respond to current and future social needs. Moreover, they are healthy for people because they focus on the well-being and comfort of users. With this, we make emotional impact.
Good health and well-being
Reducing inequality
Sustainable cities and communities
Own workforce
Workers in the value chain
Affected Communities
Consumers and end users
73% social. Our projects are developed for the social needs of housing, healthcare, education and start-ups.
100% function-free. Being both legally and technically flexible allows us to respond to both current and future needs.
118,000m2 of obsolete real estate a new use. Our projects focus first on vacant properties before looking at new construction.
BNA nominations for several buildings. Our architecture is based on classic proportions in a modern look, which is appreciated by local residents, municipalities and trade publications alike.
4.8/5.0 Google review score. Our buildings are highly rated by their users with positive scores and reviews.
100% free-ranging. Users can lay out our buildings according to their own needs and insights and change it at any time as they wish.
WELL as standard. Our projects are developed using the WELL system for air, water, food, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
84% interactive. In most cases, our projects target diverse audiences with diverse uses that encourage social interaction.
Ecological impact
Due to their sustainable nature, RE:BORN buildings have a lowCO2 footprint, consume less material, energy and water and also increase biodiversity in the environment. In doing so, we make ecological impact.
Affordable and sustainable energy
Responsible consumption and production
Climate Action

Resource use and circular economy
40% CO2 reductioncompared to traditional and even 59%CO2 reductionin future redevelopment. Our material-related emissions are significantly lower.
31% reduction relative to MPG limits. Our buildings score well below the statutory Environmental Performance Building limits.
40% lower energy consumption compared to the market average. By reducing energy demand and clean generation, our starting point is energy label A++++.
BENG new construction requirements as a minimum. Even though our buildings are mostly redevelopments, they more than meet BENG new construction requirements.
70% lower water consumption than the market average. Water-saving toilets and showers significantly reduce consumption.
Apply other gray water system and other rainwater storage for rooftop garden watering as optimizations for next projects.
5,200m2 of ecological green space added. For this purpose, local plants have been added to, on and in our buildings, including for green roof terraces.
Collaboration with an urban ecologist can further encourage biodiversity as optimization for subsequent projects.
Economic impact
Due to their dynamic nature, RE:BORN buildings have a lower vacancy risk and a wider market. Moreover, their transformation costs are much lower. These advantages lead to better rent and value development compared to traditional buildings. In doing so, we make economic impact.
Decent work and economic growth

70% construction cost savings over new construction. By retaining the support structure in our redevelopments, we save significantly on construction costs.
2% lower investment cost compared to traditional. Save big by reusing structure and light, invest more in skin, services and space plan for future flexibility.
40% lower energy costs compared to traditional. Our buildings have high savings due to good facade and a sustainable installation concept with PVT panels.
Equal maintenance costs vs. traditional. Our buildings have slightly more maintenance due to decentralized systems, but less maintenance in terms of materialization.
0% additional investment when converting from hotel or shortstay to residential. Our buildings can even accommodate this seasonally.
61% lower transformation costs compared to traditional in future redevelopment to healthcare and office, among other uses. Our structure (supporting structure) and skin (facade) are prepared for this.
>30% higher market value over traditional based on RISC. Because of their legal and technical flexibility and sustainability, our projects have a higher market value.
PILOT for innovations in the valuation world. Our buildings are being used as a pilot for appraisers in relation to valuing future value.
