Van Gool Elburg becomes Dils

A strategic name change that reflects Van Gool Elburg’s ambition: two years after its acquisition, the Dutch real estate firm continues its journey under the name Dils. “This is the natural next step in our international growth strategy,” says Ron van den Berge, CEO of the Dutch division.

The announcement of Van Gool Elburg joining the Dils Group dates back to 2023. Dils is an international real estate advisor with offices in several European cities – including Milan, Rome, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, Barcelona, and Madrid – and shares with Van Gool Elburg an innovative, change-oriented approach, powered by data and technology. “Dils and Van Gool Elburg are a great match,” continues van den Berge. “We are united by the drive to make a difference, building strong relationships, networks, and communities. Because certain goals can only be achieved together.”

After two years of transition, Van Gool Elburg officially adopts the Dils brand. “In 2023, we chose to keep our original name, which is well known in Dutch commercial real estate, especially in Amsterdam. But now, our place within the Dils Group is clear and widely recognized, and it’s time to highlight the international scope of this project. Over the past two years, we have evolved gradually – and now we’re ready to fully present ourselves as Dils.”

The name change marks a new chapter, but the ambition remains the same. “At European level, Dils aims to grow beyond its current markets in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. In the Dutch market, in addition to the office sector, we want to strengthen our presence in logistics and residential, with the goal of becoming a leading player in Amsterdam and, over time, across the country. Our growth will be driven by the Dils approach – innovative, data-driven, and people-focused.”
