Why investors choose Layers
Ambitious
The Layers concept is aimed primarily at ambitious entrepreneurs seeking to grow with their business. The flexible, scalable units are built from new and have a future-proof construction. A Layers business space is always attractive because we believe entrepreneurs prefer to do business in welcoming, enticing-looking premises rather than dated buildings.
Golden formula
Layers is part of Today Real Estate Development, a young generation of real estate professionals who are determined to do things differently. The success of our golden formula is reflected in the creation of more than 800 units in just a few years, all of which have been sold. We continue developing countless new projects and have now expanded our concept beyond the Netherlands.
High lettability
Layers offers investors a unique opportunity to invest in high-quality newbuild business units that seamlessly align with the wishes of the modern entrepreneur. This is reflected in their high level of lettability, stable rental incomes and an equally stable cashflow. The increasing demand for this type of business space will also lead to a potential rise in the long-term value.
Return
Getting on board with Layers means choosing a solid investment with an attractive return. Newbuild units designed and constructed in accordance with the latest building standards are highly sought after among the target group of tenants, who vary from start-ups to larger SMEs. This is reflected in the very high rate of occupancy. Investors will also benefit from the sustainable character of this real estate, which can significantly boost the quality and image of existing real estate portfolios.

FAQ
What is Layers?

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.

What does it mean to buy a Layers unit ‘V.O.N.’?
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).
