At Primevest, we have a clear purpose: Empowering financial futures, enriching our living world. This statement reflects a genuine commitment to transformative change in the real asset sector. We are dedicated to investing in the future of our cities and collecting capital through investment funds that target resilient and robust real asset categories. By addressing some of the greatest challenges of modern life in our cities such as affordable housing, parking and mobility issues in densely populated urban areas, and the impact of the growing and ageing population, we demonstrate our goal to build sustainable communities that not only survive but thrive.

One vision, two labels – Investing in the future of our cities
As Primevest Capital Partners and Holland Immo Group continue our journey together toward a more sustainable and responsible future, we are becoming more aware every day that ESG factors are integral to our investment strategy and essential for our longterm success. Our mission is to shape the cities of tomorrow by aligning our investments with social megatrends and ensuring that our ongoing impact is measured, not only by financial returns, but also increasingly in terms of positive contributions to society and the environment.

Roadmap hightlights 2023
Primevest has set itself ambitious goals, including a commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions at all its assets under management by 2040, well in advance of the target of the Paris Agreement. While we acknowledge that the road ahead will demand a major and well-coordinated effort, our commitments are grounded in a robust sustainability framework.

Some of our key achievements so far include:

• 11.6% CO2 reduction of the corporate organisation
• Company car e-vehicle directive introduced with the aim of reducing vehicles using fossil fuels within 3 – 4 years
• Submission of first UNPRI Report 2023
• Completion and delivery of green5, a sustainable residential complex in Vienna, Austria
• Primevest acquired a minority stake in Zoncoalitie, a company advancing solar solutions for commercial properties
• Absenteeism rate of 3.13% vs average of 5.0% in the Netherlands and 5.7% in Germany

Impact interviews
In this year’s sustainability report, we also highlight our most impactful and inspiring collaborations and succes stories with our stakeholders, showcasing the significant milestones achieved on our ESG journey.

Our path forward: shaping sustainable investments for the future
Our vision is to be a leader in sustainable urban development, by investing in assets that transform cities while contributing to a low-carbon, socially inclusive, and technologically advanced future. We aim to develop into one of the most attractive employers in the real assets industry, attracting creative talent that embraces our mission with the desire to create positive impact wherever possible. By 2040, we aim to be a carbon-neutral organisation, fully aligned with global efforts to mitigate climate change. Our ESG strategy embeds sustainability into every facet of our investment and asset management approach. Whether it is investing in energy-efficient residential properties, enhancing digital communication infrastructure with minimal negative environmental impact but substantial positive societal impact, or transforming car parks to support cleaner, greener driving technologies, we are committed to delivering resilient, future-proof assets that benefit both people and the planet.

Today marks the start of the recovery operation for the next 112 cars in the Q-Park parking garage next to St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein. These cars are located on various floors of the parking garage in an area designated as safe by the Nieuwegein municipality.

Safety has been confirmed by experts, and the recovery plan has been approved by the Nieuwegein municipality. To retrieve the cars from the parking garage, a lifting setup will be installed. This setup consists of stacking pontoons to bridge the height difference, combined with a bridge from the floors of the parking garage. The cars will be driven onto the fenced stacking pontoons by a specialized recovery company. A crane will then lift the cars to the ground level. Here, the cars will be inspected by an independent damage assessor.

Michiel Tenge, General Manager of Q-Park, stated: “A month ago, the first 15 cars were recovered. We are pleased that we can now return these 112 cars to their owners. The lifting plan required precise coordination with various parties to ensure safety and protect the investigation area of the Dutch Safety Board (OVV). We look forward to delivering the cars clean and in good condition to their owners shortly. Naturally, we also hope to recover the remaining 14 cars in the investigation area soon.”

Recently, the involved parties – Q-Park, St. Antonius, and Primevest – announced that the term for the loan cars provided to the affected car owners will be extended until September this year. All car owners have been informed via email. The parking garage will remain closed until further notice.

On Sunday, May 26, 2024, the ramps of the Q-Park St. Antonius parking garage near the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein collapsed. After an intensive investigation using search dogs and drones in the garage, the Utrecht Safety Region confirmed overnight that there are no casualties and that there is no risk of collapse for the entire parking garage. The Dutch Safety Board (OVV) has now started an investigation into the cause of the incident.

Q-Park, the parking operator, and Primevest, the owner of this parking garage, are deeply shocked by the situation and regret that this could happen. “We are relieved that visitors and staff remained unharmed. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the emergency services for their swift and professional response. The cause is currently unknown. We are fully cooperating with the investigation. The safety of our visitors, hospital staff, and Q-Park employees is paramount. Therefore, the garage will remain completely closed until further notice, and access is prohibited.”
