We cultivate real impact
Whitewood invests in real assets with a mission:
to transform their potential and leave them better than we found them, for people, for businesses, and for society.
Over time, our vision expanded
Whitewood’s story begins in real estate, a sector we know intimately, having built deep experience in investment, development, and management. We saw the opportunity and responsibility to do more. To invest not just in buildings, but in the foundations of a better future.
Today, Whitewood is a full-spectrum investment firm focused on real assets. We can deploy capital into infrastructure, logistics, energy, and natural resources, always guided by the same principle: create real, measurable impact.
For us, that means leaving every asset we touch more valuable, more sustainable, and more meaningful than it was before. What started as a focused real estate operation has evolved into a broader mission, one that combines financial discipline with environmental responsibility, strategic growth with long-term care, and commercial ambition with societal value. Because true impact is cultivated, not claimed.
Headquartered in Brussels, with regional offices in Rotterdam and Antwerp, we cover the Belgian and Dutch markets.
Our services
At Whitewood, we offer an integrated platform that spans asset management and operations, combining strategic investment, expert development, and hands-on management to unlock the full value of real assets.

Our dedication
to impact
At Whitewood, impact isn’t a buzzword. It’s a promise. Every decision we make, from where we invest to how we operate is shaped by a long-term vision for positive transformation. We measure our success not just in returns, but in resilience, in regeneration, and in the real-world value we create.
“We don’t just invest in assets.
We invest in what they can become, for the benefit of all stakeholders. That’s what impact means to us.”
Frédéric Van der Planken - Founding partner
