Invest in the future of housing: Bluelands by Blue21 offers a bold solution on water
The housing crisis asks for bold ideas
The Netherlands faces a critical housing shortage, over 600,000 new homes are needed by 2030. Yet the land to build them just isn’t there. At the same time, climate change is forcing us to rethink how and where we live. What if water, often seen as a barrier, could become an opportunity?
Introducing Bluelands: Affordable Housing on Water
Bluelands, an initiative by floating pioneers and Buccaneer resident Blue21, transforms inland waters into climate-resilient communities. With just 3% of the Netherlands’ inland waters, they could accommodate over 1 million floating homes. Bluelands makes floating homes accessible and affordable for students, young professionals, and everyone in need of a house.
Why it matters
You understand how infrastructure, environment, and innovation intersect.
Bluelands sits at that nexus:
- Climate-Resilient Urbanism: Our homes adapt to rising water levels and extreme weather.
- Circular Economy in Action: Floating communities use renewable energy, minimize waste, and preserve ecosystems.
- Proven Technology: Our patented floating foundation is backed by 18+ years of global expertise from Blue21.
- Scalable Opportunity: From a successful pilot at TU Delft’s Green Village to a 30+ unit floating apartment block—we’re ready to grow.
Your Chance to Co-Own the Future
To realize our next phase, we’re launching our first investment campaign via Eyevestor. We’re raising €500,000 to:
- Scale production of floating foundations
