Amsterdam, 7 October 2025 – In the annual GRESB Real Estate Assessment, Rockfield’s Dutch Student and Young Professional Housing Fund (DSYPH) achieved the highest sustainability score of all European residential property funds. Rockfield claimed the leading position for the first time in 2025, while the fund once again received a five-star rating.
In this highly competitive benchmark, DSYPH has consistently ranked among the 15 best-performing European real estate funds in recent years. In 2025, the fund took first place for the first time with a total score of 94 out of 100. The increase from the already strong score of 90 in 2024 is largely due to improved performance in the areas of water, energy and waste management.
Rockfield’s second Dutch residential fund, Dutch Urban Living Venture, reinforced this success with a score of 92 points, also achieving a five-star rating and placing it among the top 10% of European real estate funds.
This year, we are continuing last year’s success. These excellent scores are a strong recognition of our commitment and investments in sustainability. The GRESB results underscore the effectiveness of our long-term strategy and the consistency with which we integrate sustainability into our portfolios. They confirm our ongoing focus on sustainability and our clear ambition to create long-term value for both investors and tenants. We are proud of our team and our partners who made this achievement possible.”

Despite its top position in the GRESB ranking in 2025, Rockfield remains focused on further improvement. In the coming years, the company will take measures to address climate risks, further reduce energy consumption per unit, improve the efficiency of higher-consumption assets and actively engage tenants in energy-saving initiatives, all of which contribute to creating sustainable and climate-resilient homes.
Rockfield also strives to implement ambitious sustainability standards in new projects. This will ensure that the company remains a structural leader in the development of future-proof real estate. This recognition demonstrates that we can set the standard in sustainability without losing sight of our core mission: creating strong, resilient returns for our investors.
Rockfield is a vertically integrated investment manager in the residential sector in Europe, with approximately €2.5 billion in assets under management and 10,000 units under management in multiple markets. We are active in all sub-segments and risk profiles of the residential sector, from core to opportunistic, thereby building the future of housing in Europe.
