You have to create your own path: a conversation with Namrata Baruah
The way most engineers move through their careers is to get good at the job in front of them. Namrata, project engineer at OMRT, did that for the first two years.

We sat down with her to talk about how she got from there to here, and what it took to make the moves no one had assigned to her. A working principle from before OMRT Namrata trained as an architect in India a

Working with AI, not for it: a conversation with Amirsalar

The state of technology in real estate development in 2026
The property market faces an immense task. The call for more homes is louder than ever, yet the sector is navigating strict sustainability requirements, rising construction costs, and complex regulations.

For this research, we teamed up closely with a dedicated researcher from TU Delft and engaged with over 25 visiona

NS Stations & OMRT: a new way of tendering
From complex site to concrete development perspective Along the railway near Utrecht lies the Wisselspoor site: a complex location with great potential. For NS Stations, acting here as a landowner rather than a traditional real estate developer, residential development on sites like this brings specific challenges. The central question was clear: what is truly possible here within all constraints, and how can that be tested intelligently in the market? Together with OMRT, the
