About BASE
Independent. Entrepreneurial.
Integrated.
Base Investments is an independent real estate investment and management company based in Amsterdam. We invest alongside partners and manage real estate on behalf of investors, combining entrepreneurial investment thinking with institutional discipline and hands-on execution.
Who we are
Built to identify opportunities. Equipped to execute.
We actively seek real estate opportunities with new and existing partners, from individual assets and development projects to larger investment and portfolio strategies. Our experience spans life sciences, light industrial, logistics and offices, while we remain open to other strategies where our capabilities add value.
Our team combines sourcing, underwriting and transaction execution with asset, property and development management. Insights from managing buildings and tenants help inform investments and developments throughout the asset lifecycle.
Why we do it
Better buildings. Lasting value.
We believe strong real estate performance and measurable environmental improvement can reinforce one another. By combining tenant needs, technical expertise, investment discipline and reliable data, we make targeted improvements that support better buildings and long-term value. Our ambition is a cumulative reduction of 100 million kg CO2e across our portfolios through 2032.

What sets us apart
We think like investors and act like owners. Our advantage lies in combining active sourcing, institutional discipline and operational expertise in one independent, accountable business.
01
Senior-led origination
We source opportunities proactively through direct owner relationships, specialist networks and unsolicited approaches. This helps us identify off-market opportunities and execute focused acquisition strategies.
02
Entrepreneurial Investment Judgement
We pursue individual assets, developments and portfolio strategies where our investment judgement and hands-on capabilities can make a difference. Our underwriting combines commercial opportunity, technical and legal diligence, ESG and realistic execution plans.
03
Integrated, Accountable Execution
Investment, asset, property and development management operate as one connected platform. Tenant relationships and technical experience inform investment decisions, while knowledge gained through day-to-day management shapes development plans.
04
Attributable Private Equity Experience
Founded in 2020, Base combines its own investment and management track record with substantial previous experience from institutional and private-equity real estate platforms. We distinguish clearly between Base achievements and the prior careers of our team.
05
Data- and AI-Enabled Decision Support
Our internal Asset Management Dashboard, structured investor reporting and automation workflows help our team consolidate information, identify priorities and spend more time on decisions and tenants. Human review and data governance remain essential.
06
ESG Integrated into the Business Plan
Our team combines ESG expertise with investment, asset, property and technical management. Together we assess energy performance, capex, compliance, tenant requirements and long-term asset resilience as part of each business plan.

What drives us
Our values define how we work with partners, clients, occupiers and colleagues. They set clear expectations for ownership, transparency, innovation and collaboration across every investment, mandate and daily interaction.
Take Ownership
We take responsibility without waiting to be asked. We identify issues and act, hold ourselves and others to agreed commitments, look for solutions rather than excuses, and make a point of celebrating success and learning from mistakes.
In practice: early tenant dialogue helps identify leasing and investment opportunities.
Be Transparent
We share information proactively, including when it is uncomfortable or when an error has been made, both internally and with clients. We give honest feedback directly and respectfully, communicate expectations clearly and on time, acknowledge what we do not yet know, and make decisions understandable so others can move with us.
In practice: structured investor reporting makes priorities and progress transparent.
Boost Innovation
We challenge existing ways of working by asking whether they can be smarter. We bring forward ideas before they are fully formed, experiment, evaluate and adapt, embrace change as an opportunity, and share new insights with the team. Our active development and integration of AI applications is one practical way we apply this behaviour.
In practice: our internal AM Dashboard and operational automation.
Win Together
We step in for one another without waiting to be asked, share knowledge and success, raise concerns early when something may go wrong, and support colleagues when they need it. A team result is a shared result, and we celebrate it accordingly.
In practice: cooperation between occupiers, owners and specialists supports practical sustainability solutions.
THE Team
Experienced people.
Shared values.
Our team of 11 professionals combines investment, commercial, technical, financial, data and ESG expertise. Short lines, shared ownership and close collaboration allow us to move from investment thinking to hands-on execution.
