Family business
Father and sons, entrepreneurs with one passion: affordable, sustainable, stylish homes
Pieter Sybrandy has been an entrepreneur for more than thirty-five years. At several points in his career he found the same thing missing: good-quality homes that are also affordable. Woonstaete grew out of that experience. Today his sons, Pieter jr. and Vincent, work alongside him.
How it began
Sustainable and stylish living need not be unaffordable
Pieter and Jaco Sybrandy founded Woonstaete on that conviction. As an entrepreneur, Pieter saw the same pattern in more and more places: demand for affordable rental homes kept growing while supply was in long-term decline. The same problem is felt across the Netherlands, which faces a major shortage of affordable homes.
Since then the family has delivered fourteen developments in four provinces, with 192 homes and no vacancies. Today Pieter and his sons, Pieter jr. and Vincent, are taking the business forward together. Our page on the organisation explains how the business is structured, with three disciplines in one group.
Delivered so far
Fourteen developments in four provinces, all occupied
From Zutphen in 2025 back to Sittard-Geleen in 2018, Woonstaete delivered each of these fourteen developments, saw it through to completion and let the homes. Scroll back through the years and see on the map where the family has developed.

Why we do it
Affordable rental homes that we hold ourselves
We deliver and invest in affordable rental homes, and we hold on to them. It is a vision we firmly believe in. We are glad to offer those who share it the chance to invest in the homes alongside us.
Affordable living
The homes we deliver or invest in are 1-, 2- and 3-room apartments and compact houses. Sustainable and stylish living need not be unaffordable. Woonstaete was founded on that conviction, and we aim to make it real again in every project.
Quality for the long term
We deliver and invest in good-quality, future-proof homes. By bringing our expertise in several disciplines together, we keep control of quality from start to finish.
A family business
Woonstaete is run with a family ethos and a long-term vision. We are in this for the long run, and that thinking shapes every decision we make about a site, a plan or an investment.
The people behind it
Family owned, family run
Pieter Sybrandy brings more than thirty-five years of entrepreneurship. His sons, Pieter jr. and Vincent, bring the insight of a new generation. The mix of experience and renewal is the strength of the business: years of knowledge alongside a fresh view of housing, development and investment, around the same table.

Frequently asked questions
Four questions we often hear about the family
Who is the borrower?
Your loan is made to the company that owns the homes in that project. Our page on the organisation explains how Woonstaete's three companies work together.
Who lets and manages the homes?
Woonstaete does. We deliver the homes and then let them ourselves. We also manage them, with a property manager working under our direction. The Woonstaete Asset Management page describes what that work involves.
Can I see the homes for myself?
Yes. The fourteen developments are in Sittard-Geleen, Hoofddorp, Meppel, Den Helder, Heerlen, Geleen, Brummen and Zutphen, and people live in every one of them. You are welcome to drive past, and the photographs in the timeline are of the homes themselves.
How can I meet the family?
Through Vincent Sybrandy, who handles conversations with investors. You can call or email him, or book an introductory meeting. We would be glad to take you through the security and the documents, with no obligation at all.
