Nico is an experienced real estate professional and a trusted guide within the Rotterdam-The Hague real estate market. With over 40 years of experience, he has specialized in real estate transactions, project development, real estate financing, and energy.

He knows the real estate cycle inside out: from initiation and design to realization and operation. He also knows the market, the key players, and their interests. Based on this knowledge, Nico works exclusively for business clients, including investors, developers, end-users, asset managers, construction companies, financiers, architects, engineers, real estate agents, and energy companies, with a particular focus on grid operators.

The energy transition entails far-reaching changes. Technological developments require new choices regarding the design, use, and legal safeguarding of the physical energy infrastructure. The decisions made today will help determine what the energy system of the future looks like.

Nico supports organizations that are leading the way in this area. From developers who make sustainability an integral part of their real estate strategy to port authorities, horticulturalists, and grid operators who are making their infrastructure and operations future-proof.

For grid operators, a key area of ​​focus lies in the legal registration and protection of the network. Cables, pipelines, and connections require careful legal anchoring. Nico advises on and assists with the establishment and registration of, among other things, building rights, easements, restrictive covenants, and qualitative rights and obligations.

In this way, he ensures clarity regarding who has which rights to the ground, above and below ground, and in the water — now and with a view to the energy infrastructure of the future.
