Betaalbare Koopwoningen Zaanstad Holding BV - BKZ

Betaalbare Koopwoningen Zaanstad (BKZ) is a private limited company with a public mission, founded on the initiative of the municipality of Zaanstad, Netherlands. The company's primary goal is to address the housing shortage by making homeownership accessible to people with modest or middle incomes who are otherwise priced out of the market. BKZ develops new housing projects and sells the homes at a reduced price, often using special arrangements to bridge the financial gap for buyers. It operates without a profit motive, meaning any financial surpluses are reinvested into the development of new affordable housing projects within Zaanstad.
