BPD acquires Blauwhoed and strengthens position in Dutch residential market

6 November 2026

BPD Europe (BPD), part of the Rabobank Group, is acquiring Blauwhoed, strengthening its development and acquisition capabilities in the Dutch residential market. The acquisition expands BPD’s portfolio with Blauwhoed’s residential and area development projects and brings 45 new employees to the organisation. Blauwhoed will continue to operate independently under its own name following the acquisition.

Blauwhoed is a Dutch real estate developer active in residential development, area development and transformation. BPD and Blauwhoed have complementary profiles. BPD has a strong position in long-term, large-scale area developments, while Blauwhoed brings an entrepreneurial development approach, conceptual strength and strong acquisition capabilities. Blauwhoed’s project portfolio is concentrated primarily in North Holland, South Holland and Utrecht.

The two organisations already collaborate on several area developments, including Kreekpark in Wilnis, Lisserbroek and Weespersluis in Weesp. The combination also creates opportunities to share knowledge and experience in areas including innovative housing concepts, flexible housing solutions, biobased development, grid-conscious construction, climate adaptation and community participation.

The transaction is subject to approval by the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and other customary conditions.

Houthoff is advising BPD on the transaction. The Houthoff team is led by Herman Lohman and further consists of Grafton Cederburg, Etiënne Dijkhorst, Sam Vermeeren, Evelien Fluitsma, Isabel de Leeuw, Carmen Veerman, Joris Vugs, Olav de Wit, Marloes Brans, Klaas Valkering, Felix Kelder, Charlotte de Jong, Ines Hoving, Lilly Akhile Oijiangbe, Wischa Visser, Iza Wilbrink, Derk von Saher, Yvo de Vries, Cornelie Castelein, Mika Hermans, Anne Steenkamp, Oscar van Angeren, Ewoud van der Leek, Marthe Bollen, Aniek van de Graaf, Frank Mattheijer, Marijn van Horen, Marijn Zeinstra, Jeroen Vossenberg, Jan Veeningen, Rosalie van Haaster, Thies Esselink, Thomas de Weerd, Marco Moeskops, Dawit Bakker, Bas van der Mei, Ellis Martens and Assala Ayachi.
