Our Mission

At Mainport Investments, we are committed to the accelerated development of affordable rental homes and sustainable new construction projects. Our mission is to address the shortage in the Brainport Region housing market, ensuring that the economic growth and appeal of this innovative area continue to thrive. Eindhoven is a city full of potential and a driving force behind innovation. With leading companies such as

ASML, VDL, and Philips, the region attracts highly skilled professionals from around the world. However, the current housing market in Eindhoven presents a major challenge for businesses looking to expand. 

Additionally, Eindhoven is a true student city, where demand for student housing is rapidly increasing. We aim to expand the availability of student accommodations and starter homes, providing young talents and professionals with suitable living spaces. 

With a future-focused approach, we are not just building houses—we are creating vibrant and livable communities.

Who We Serve

Eindhoven is a city full of potential. It is home to highly educated employees from internationally operating companies such as ASML, VDL, and Philips. The current housing market makes it extremely challenging for these companies to realize their growth for the coming years. With an overwhelming demand for living spaces, our mission is to accelerate the addition of affordable housing, ensuring that the economic growth and attractiveness of this innovative region can continue to thrive.

Additionally, Eindhoven is an excellent student city, and there needs to be more housing available for this demographic in the short term as well.
