”It is well built. A lot of effort has gone into it.”
Visitors are often astonished upon entering the Bastion Real Estate offices on Mijlweg in Vianen. “Wow, is this really a business unit? It seems more like a comfortable, welcoming living room!”
The power of Layers
Layers’ units are always easily accessible and have multifunctional designs and layouts. Whatever size space you need, Layers offers unparalleled flexible options. Each unit can be customised to suit a range of different businesses.
Why entrepreneurs choose Layers
Top locations
We start by carefully looking for strategically positioned locations where we can establish our units. We consider the local infrastructure and the proximity to motorways, ports and airports. Visibility is also an important factor. Once Layers has decided on a location, you can be sure that it has excellent accessibility and visibility.
Flexible
Whatever size space you need, Layers offers unparalleled flexible options. Each unit can be customised to suit a range of different businesses - from painting companies to architect firms and from sole traders and small start-ups to established companies with a lot of employees. They are home to a huge scope of activities - production, storage, trade, office work and often a combination of these. Because many entrepreneurs want to continue growing without having to change premises, our flexible, scalable units can be easily reconfigured as needed.
Familiar
You can recognise Layers from afar. No dull grey walls here. Just buildings with visual appeal where you feel immediately at home. Places where entrepreneurs can start each day with a smile as they pursue further growth. As well as being attractive and inviting, the units must meet many other conditions. They have to be sustainable and energy efficient, for example. The use of modern materials and smart technologies ensures a smaller ecological footprint and makes the units future-proof. In other words, Layers makes it possible to save energy and contribute towards a sustainable future.
An investment that retains its value
The smallest Layers unit sells for just over €100,000. What makes investing in a Layers unit even more attractive for many businesses is that it gives them a chance to acquire modern premises in which doing business is far more pleasant and comfortable than in a dated, old building. It also means building something up because Layers locations are very much sought after and retain their value.

FAQ
What is Layers?
Layers offers entrepreneurs the scope for flawless operations and the opportunity to grow, both personally and in terms of their business. Our units are attractive, functional and found only at top locations, allowing you to focus fully on your business.
What is the difference between a Layers unit and a Layers XL unit?
A Layers XL unit is larger than 300 m² and occupies an entire or part of one floor. This provides extra space for a range of applications.
Who is TODAY?
TODAY is the real estate developer behind the Layers concept. We are also developing Storage Club, which focuses on modern, sustainable and flexible garage units at top locations. Our Storage Club concept can currently be found in Amsterdam and Aalsmeer. TODAY is also working on last-mile logistics under the name Urban Miles, in which we create sustainable distribution centres near city centres.
Is there an Owners’ Association?
Yes, every business park has its own compulsory and active Owners’ Association. The Owners’ Association arranges things such as building insurance and a long-term maintenance plan and is responsible for managing the site.
What happens to my payments to the Owners’ Association?
You make an initial one-off payment when buying your Layers unit and then pay a monthly owner’s contribution to the Owners’ Association. This covers the management costs and insurance policies and is also used for adding to the reserves to pay for major maintenance.
What is a purchase and building agreement?
The purchase and building agreement contains all the rights and obligations associated with the purchase of the land and the building work needed for creating the Layers unit.

V.O.N. is an acronym for ‘Vrij Op Naam’. This means that the sale price includes VAT and that the costs of the notary, the Land Register and the transfer tax are included in the price.
Can I claim back the VAT?
Yes, if your business is registered for VAT, you can reclaim the VAT on your tax return.
What is the situation regarding property tax (known as OZB)?
As the owner of your Layers unit, you are liable for property tax. This amount is calculated based on the WOZ value (the official valuation).
