Launched in 2026, the Student & Starter Social Living Venture (SSLV) is a joint venture between pension fund ABP and Rockfield Real Estate, focused on the development of affordable, sustainable and high-quality housing for students and young professionals in the Netherlands.
With an initial capital commitment of €350 million and a target of more than 2,000 homes, SSLV aims to grow into a substantial portfolio of affordable, future-proof housing across the Netherlands. All assets are developed to at least BREEAM-NL Excellent and CRREM standards, ensuring long-term energy efficiency and climate resilience. The platform draws on Rockfield’s track record of over 10,000 homes developed and more than 15,000 residential units under management and welcomes collaboration with developers who share this ambition.
SSLV invests in large-scale residential complexes in Dutch student cities with strong knowledge ecosystems, supported by leading universities and universities of applied sciences. The portfolio is built through new development and turnkey projects in partnership with local property developers, combining Rockfield’s integrated platform with local market expertise.
Rockfield is currently working on acquiring projects for the SSLV Fund. Updates on new projects will be shared via our news channel.
