A conversation with Jasper Boot of International Campus about The FIZZ

International Campus Group, a vertically integrated investor, developer, and operator of student housing, has created living spaces for students that go beyond just accommodations.

The FIZZ Leiden—where modern student living meets community and sustainability in the heart of one of the Netherlands' most historic cities—offers residents 394 modern student apartments, each with its own private bathroom and kitchenette. In addition to these private spaces, the development features extensive communal areas designed to foster interaction. Amenities include a communal kitchen for hosting events like pizza nights, an on-site cinema for movie screenings, a fitness facility and various study and play areas.

Building a Community

Jasper Boot: “At International Campus, we believe that creating a sense of community is as important as providing high-quality living spaces for students. That’s why we have included extensive communal areas in The FIZZ Leiden. These amenities are designed to bring people together, making it easy for students to connect and interact with one another.”

A Prime Location

The FIZZ Leiden is ideally located on the edge of Leiden's city center, in a previously underdeveloped area of the city. This vibrant new development offers 394 beautifully designed student apartments, each equipped with a private bathroom and kitchenette. Residents will enjoy the convenience of being just a 5-minute walk from the city center and Leiden Central Station, with the university campuses less than a 10-minute bike ride away.

Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability is a core value for both NIBC and International Campus Group. Jasper Boot: “Sustainability is not just a choice for us—it’s a must-have. At The FIZZ Leiden, our commitment to sustainability is evident in the various eco-friendly measures we have implemented. The building features solar panels on a green roof, optimized for water drainage, and a green façade that enhances the building's energy efficiency. Additionally, we have incorporated an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system, which heats the rooms in winter and cools them in summer, ensuring a comfortable and sustainable living environment year-round.”

A Modern Complex in a Historic Setting

One of the most unique aspects of The FIZZ Leiden is its blend of modern design within a historic setting. Jasper Boot: “We have developed a contemporary complex that meets the demands of today’s students, while respecting the character of this historic part of the city. With amenities like a gym, laundry facilities, cinema room, communal kitchen, study spaces, and play areas, The FIZZ Leiden offers everything a student needs for a comfortable and fulfilling university experience.”

Celebrating a Successful Partnership

Since its grand opening on April 1st, The FIZZ Leiden has achieved 100% occupancy, underscoring the success of this well-conceived project. We are proud to have supported International Campus Group in bringing this vision to life and are excited to see the positive impact it has on the community.
