Sustainable Real Estate

Government and private entities are increasingly seeking to protect our country’s overall health, natural environment and quality of life through strategies such as smart growth, new urbanism, and green and smart building.

Houthoff's Real Estate team increasingly assists clients with legal issues relating to developing sustainable real estate projects. We advise on the contractual and property law aspects of circular construction and sustainable energy generation systems (thermal energy storage, heat pumps, solar panels, etc.). We also work in the field of building on water, for example, floating solar panels. Furthermore, we have extensive experience advising on legal structures for collective energy systems.

Our Real Estate lawyers have a thorough understanding of existing and emerging climate change legislation. They provide strategic advice to clients to ensure that climate change regulation requirements are met and business opportunities are maximised.
