14 15 From business area to urban district

In addition to 143,000 m2 for new office development projects, Sloterdijk Centre has 100,000 m2 available for residential purposes. This involves the construction of a total of 1,500 new homes.The main focus in this district will be on apartment buildings and a few high-rise towers, reserving part of the land for Collective Private Commis- sioning (CPO), which refers to developments driven by self-build groups. The result will be a very diverse supply for a wide variety of target audiences: small, medium-sized and large apartments, storehouse and loft apartments, in all price ranges, to be let or sold.

To ensure a safe residential environment, the Haarlemmer- weg (N200) motor traffic road will be transformed into an urban road with green verges and trees. Furthermore, access will be improved by installing new cycle bridges and pedestrian overpasses.

30 31 OVG is the largest Real Estate Technology company in the Netherlands, with strong roots in Germany and a recently established presence in the United States. We develop intelligent, high-tech office buildings, invariably with a sustainable footprint. Our mission is to create healthy working, living and learning environments by applying smart technology. Our organization works with a team of highly driven professionals with a strong vision on our field of business and the world around us. This vision enables us to explore new frontiers, confront new challenges, and keep on innovating.

OVG Real Estate was founded in 1997 by Coen van Oostrom, who is also the CEO of OVG Real Estate. As a newcomer to the world of real estate, he was able to see and seize opportunities that others missed. He soon found ways to create new opportunities and special projects. Identifying opportunities is not enough for us – we want to create them. Rather than following conven- tions, our team will question them and think outside the box. This has resulted in a unique approach that forms the guiding principle for each of the four business units of OVG Real Estate.
