IMAP Netherlands is pleased to announce that PVM, a leading Dutch real estate advisory agency, has joined the Studibo Group, a rapid expanding Belgian multi-disciplinary real estate advisory group backed by private equity investor IceLake. This strategic transaction welcomes PVM into the Studibo family, enhancing both companies’ capabilities to deliver broad, integrated advisory and certification services for sustainable buildings and living environments throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. With IceLake’s support, Studibo continues its rapid buy-and-build growth trajectory across the Netherlands and Belgium.
PVM offers a powerful entry-point and expansion opportunity in the Dutch real estate advisory market, anchoring Studibo’s buy-and-build ambitions for the region. As part of Studibo, PVM will maintain its strong local identity and trusted brand, while leveraging wider group resources and know-how to better serve clients and accelerate growth. This transaction reinforces Studibo’s position as a leading multidisciplinary advisory group in the Benelux, providing a scalable platform for future expansion.
Studibo’s strategy, underpinned by IceLake’s long-term investment, focuses on building a leading platform in the Dutch and Belgian markets for engineering and real estate advisory through targeted acquisitions and integration. Studibo already counted several leading Belgian advisories among its ranks and is executing a multi-label platform approach, forging synergies and scale across geographies and disciplines. The group’s portfolio will now collectively number over 350 employees, deepening its expertise and market reach in the Netherlands.
Founded in 1994, PVM has become a highly respected real estate advisor to housing associations, investors, and governments across the Netherlands. Consultancy areas of expertise include management & maintenance, real estate data, sustainability, and more. PVM has a nationwide coverage with offices in Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Heerlen and Hilversum. With a strong track record and over 100 professionals working within PVM, it is positioned as a market leader in integrated real estate solutions in the Netherlands.
The IMAP Netherlands team, led by Balthazar den Breems, Thomas Verhoeckx and Mathijs van Styrum, advised the shareholders of PVM on this transaction, supporting them in preparing, negotiating, and successfully closing the transaction.
