DEVELOPMENT BY

APF INTERNATIONAL

APF International (re)develops buildings with the needs of its future users in mind. The current purpose or function of a building is not leading. Because APF has been active for many years in all ‘asset classes’ – offices, retail, logistics and residential property – development opportunities are recognized at an early stage and converted into high quality projects. APF has positioned itself in recent years as a full-fledged (re)development partner, particularly with regard to transformations to residential properties. This experience continues with the development of New Benthem.
