Altera’s retail and housing fund have received a 5-star rating from Gresb for the fifth year in a row.
With the Altera retail fund, real estate investor Altera is the most sustainable retail fund in its category in the Netherlands and since this year also in Europe for the second year in a row.
The Altera housing fund has further expanded its high score and has achieved second place in both the Netherlands and Europe in its category.
Dual return
“Our strategy is aimed at achieving dual returns: both financially and in terms of ESG performance,” says Jaap van der Bijl, CEO of Altera. ‘We are committed to developing sustainable buildings, making existing real estate more sustainable and at the same time creating value for all our stakeholders: our investors, our tenants, and society.’
