Healthy living for all: affordable, biodiverse and neighborhood-oriented
NICE Developers offers residents future-proof residential buildings with a place for everyone. With healthy buildings and neighborhood amenities, we do more than just take up space. We are giving something back. Our residential buildings are firmly embedded in their surroundings and enter into an intimate relationship with them. By providing space for meeting and a mix of accessible rental and owner-occupied housing, for example. With integrated greenery for more biodiversity and climate adaptability. They are NICE Buildings, made to offer you a healthy future.
NICE gives something back to the neighborhood with green buildings
There is a severe shortage of affordable housing. Yet we must find the solutions to this in the existing city. That is the challenge we face. Therefore, in recent years - especially for people with lower and middle incomes - it has become increasingly difficult to find a house (for sale or rent).
Our solution? By ensuring a good mix of social, mid-rent and owner-occupied housing, we make living in our NICE Buildings accessible to everyone. With Paris Proof residential buildings, we also add more housing and more quality to neighborhoods, while engaging in dialogue with (neighborhood) residents. The neighborhood has a voice that we hear loud and clear and include in the development. With lots of green and outdoor space, we develop healthy wooden residential buildings that retain CO₂ and provide space for shared facilities (mobility, vegetable garden, tools), meeting and connection. The whole neighborhood benefits from this!
Good and healthy living for future generations
The answer is NICE
Building differently is important
We realized our wooden residential building SAWA by making the decision that it had to be there. By then pulling out all the stops with our partners to take this necessary next step in housing development. Much research, experiments, learning moments and successes later, we can confidently say that we know how to do it. That's why we developed the NICE Concept. More NICE Buildings are now in development.

Penthouse for peregrine falcon forms highest point of SAWA
SAWA Rotterdam celebrates another special milestone
SAWA, the first ever 50-meter-high circular wooden residential building in the Netherlands, has reached its highest point. This milestone was symbolically marked by the placement of a specially designed nesting box, "the penthouse for the peregrine falcon," on the roof of SAWA, bringing the iconic building to its final height.

SAWA reaches the tenth floor!
SAWA is growing! And growing at an impressive rate. This week the tenth floor has already been reached. The stepped form, which characterizes SAWA, is now clearly visible, and from the shell homes it is easy to see what the stunning view will be, which the future residents will soon enjoy.
Vacancy: medior project developer wood

Citizens' Climate Consultation at SAWA
Building a Greener Future for Rotterdam

Column: Gifts to the neighborhood
Give gifts to neighborhoods and accelerate the housing task. "More than 900,000 homes must be added through 2023," was the ambition of outgoing minister De Jonge. This week's broadcast of Nieuwsuur revealed that there is no insight into how far we are from realizing this ambition.
