Operational Real Estate · Optimise

We optimise operations. Not on slides, but in the neighbourhood.

We are your neighbourhood's operating layer, between owners, property managers, service providers and residents. We leave no stone unturned, do the work ourselves and show what has changed in our reporting. So neighbourhoods are liveable and financially sound.

Where the impact happens

More income, fewer non-recoverable costs. That lifts NOI and with it the value of your neighbourhood.

Your perspective:

Income

  • Secure rental income

    Less vacancy, shorter letting periods and lower turnover through a neighbourhood where people want to stay.

  • +

    Market-aligned rents

    Rental prices and letting approach based on the market, location and the actual living experience in the neighbourhood.

  • +

    Unlock additional income

    Services, mobility, communal spaces and partner offerings as additional sources of income.

−

Non-recoverable costs

  • Reduce operating costs

    Efficient processes, digital communication and lower energy consumption reduce non-recoverable costs.

  • Make maintenance predictable

    Early damage detection and proactive measures prevent expensive emergencies.

Neighbourhood App

For every household in the neighbourhood

Our own software as the backbone

Technology is what makes the levers actionable.

The Neighbourhood App and the ANIMUS Hub are our own software. The app reaches every household in the neighbourhood, the Hub makes every change measurable. Many levers for NOI and economic headroom only become visible and actionable with them. In use in 200+ neighbourhoods since 2014.

Part of the ORE cycle: Plan, Operate, Measure, Optimise

How we get to work

  1. 01

    Inspect

    The portfolio scan leaves no stone unturned, from five perspectives: residents, income, costs, technology and building fabric, processes and data. The biggest levers become visible within a few weeks.

  2. 02

    Prioritise

    Rank levers by impact and effort. This forms the operations plan, agreed with you.

  3. 03

    Get it done

    We do the work ourselves, on site, with our team, Quartea Asset Management and partners. Not recommendations, action.

  4. 04

    Prove it

    Before and after, directly from ANIMUS Hub. We expand what works. Then the next round begins.

Ongoing mandate

For investors and portfolio owners: we take on ongoing optimisation of operations, with regular impact reporting.

Optimisation sprint

For housing companies with their own team: one lever, one clear goal, delivered together and completed with measurable results.
