Monthly masterminds, weekly updates, and networking with coliving operators worldwide.
The Netherlands has run one of Europe's most active office-to-housing transformation programs for over a decade.
Transformatie of vacant offices into housing is well understood in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague, making coliving conversion a proven path.
Conversion requires an environment and planning permit (omgevingsvergunning) and must fit the municipal zoning plan. Many municipalities actively support transformation of vacant offices, which can smooth the process.
Rules vary by city and change over time. Treat this as a starting point and confirm the current requirements with the relevant local authority before you underwrite a deal.
