Heijmans’ acquisition of the company as per 5 September 2023 marked the start of a new chapter for Van Wanrooij, after two generations of the Van Wanrooij family successfully built the company into a nationwide player. The Heijmans-Van Wanrooij combination is now one of the largest developing house builders in the Netherlands. The bundling of construction and development expertise, order books and the potentially wider deployment of the Optio housing concept provide a solid foundation for this acquisition. The current (family) management of Van Wanrooij is looking forward to giving Van Wanrooij a positive start as part of Heijmans and guiding the transition as effectively as possible. For the time being, Van Wanrooij will continue to operate independently within Heijmans under the company name Van Wanrooij.
