NICE Developers develops for a resilient and longer lasting world.
For founders and developers Robert Winkel and Mark Compeer, the change they are working on is both necessary and a mission in life. NICE Developers does not wait for this change, but actively contributes to it by proving that it is possible to develop and build differently. With the realization of Paris Proof residential buildings and their own (wooden) building concept for example.
For example, the award-winning residential building SAWA is the first circular wooden high-rise project in Europe. And more are to follow! Sustainability and social inclusiveness characterize these "NICE Buildings. Sustainability, through CO2 wood storage, use of recycled materials and a firm focus on climate adaptability and biodiversity. Social inclusivity, through participation with (neighborhood) residents, the creation of communal spaces and a mix of owner-occupied, mid-rent and social rental housing within one building.
With this bold approach, NICE offers an answer to the critical need of governments, corporations and property owners who also want to do better. 'The need is there. The viable business case is there. What are we waiting for!" said Robert and Mark.
Focus on Impact
With Focus on Impact as a co-shareholder, NICE is part of a larger corporate partnership. As a result, NICE is concretely working as a timber construction developer to develop locations owned by Focus on Impact. For other sites, this partnership means that NICE has the ability to develop new projects on a risk basis and, if desired, act as an investor together with Focus on Impact.
Read the message: NICE receives capital injection from Focus on Impact.

Robert WinkelFounder/owner, developing architect
'Building better for people and climate can be done, because we are already doing it!'
Paris Proof, because:
Robert and Mark challenge the status quo, anticipate the impending standstill in concrete construction, and call for collaboration and a radically different approach. They don't just want to celebrate their own success, but share their knowledge and experience to inspire and help others do better. At a time when urgency prevails, they demonstrate that building better for people and climate is not just a vision, but a feasible reality.

Mark CompeerFounder/owner, developer
'We put social added value over financial value for ourselves.'
The public interest, because:
Mark is a "native" planner with an eye for the social significance of area development. He specialized in inner-city redevelopment projects and worked as an area developer for several municipalities in the Randstad. He saw that things had to be done differently and joined forces with Robert: A developer who puts the public interest first.

Fleur StokJunior developer
'You develop a good building not only for the user, but especially for the neighborhood.'
For bonding with the neighborhood, because:
By keeping an eye on all the factors at play within a real estate development, you create an optimal result. In our view, a development is only successful when both the user and the surrounding neighborhood have a meaning in the development.
