The founding of Rockfield: a vision for housing concepts
Rockfield was established in 2014 with a clear mission: to create high-quality and sustainable housing solutions for young professionals and students in urban areas. Our founders recognized the growing demand for affordable housing in major cities, coupled with an increasing need for innovative living concepts that not only provide a place to live but also enable residents to grow and thrive within a community.
With this vision in mind, Rockfield started a journey to build a fully integrated real estate company. From the start, we chose to keep all aspects of real estate management in-house, from project development and acquisition to investment management and property management. This approach has allowed us to offer tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of both our investors and tenants.
Growth and development: where we stand today
Since our inception, we have experienced impressive growth. What began as an ambitious project has evolved into a leading investment manager with a portfolio of over €1 billion in assets under management and around 5,000 housing units across various European cities. We have developed innovative housing concepts such as ‘The Cohesion,’ ‘StuNest,’ ‘Heppy,’ and ‘Friends Wonen,’ all designed to enhance the living experiences of our tenants.
ESG is a core part of Rockfield’s values. We strive to meet current standards by developing homes that align with energy and environmental requirements, such as the CRREM Paris Proof standards. Our properties are designed with sustainability in mind, while also offering comfortable living spaces. Additionally, our focus is on fostering a sense of community and social interaction within our housing projects. We create living environments that encourage residents to grow, as part of our commitment to ESG principles.
