Munich / Amsterdam, 28 June 2022 – The investment manager, KINGSTONE Real Estate, is taking a further step towards international diversification: The corporate group will be investing in the economically strong Benelux countries through KINGSTONE Real Estate Benelux B.V., a joint venture with the real estate investment specialist, Jean Klijnen. Together with the KINGSTONE team, Jean Klijnen is to push ahead with the expansion as Managing Partner, based in Amsterdam. The joint venture will focus on residential and healthcare real estate, also including senior citizen apartments. The addition of other asset classes is also foreseen.

KINGSTONE Real Estate is convinced of the importance of the Benelux countries and, in particular, the Netherlands as investment locations, thanks to their high economic performance capability, the low debt burden compared with other European nations, and their robust employment markets. With an eye on demographic changes, the company also sees further potential in the field of senior citizen housing.

“In an environment with growing economic uncertainty, diversification is the order of the day. With this expansion into the Benelux countries, we are providing our institutional investors access to a politically and economically stable market environment. Together with our commitments in Germany and Poland, we are paving the way for territorial diversification into important European economies”, says Dr. Tim Schomberg, Managing Partner of KINGSTONE Real Estate. “Jean Klijnen has detailed market knowledge and has already established multiple successful investment platforms for institutional investors in the Benelux countries. That’s why he is the ideal partner for us – also in view of the group’s internationalisation strategy.”

Jean Klijnen has over 40 years of experience in the fields of business development, investment and portfolio management. His professional career includes executive positions with renowned financial institutions and real estate firms, including Rabo Real Estate and Bouwfonds Investment Management.
