Heijmans and Staedion strengthen cooperation in The Hague
Housing corporation Staedion has chosen Heijmans as its
partner to work with The Hague city council on the transformation
and renewal of the city’s Dreven, Gaarden and Zichten
neighbourhoods. In a follow-up to a letter of intent signed in late
2018, Heijmans and Staedion this week signed a continuation
agreement for the plans in the southwestern section of The
Hague.
Affordable homes in a healthy living
environment The city’s plans to improve local residents’
perspective in terms of participation, work, social cohesion and
safety will require an integrated approach, linking the spatial and
physical task to the socio-economic task of this project. The first
important steps have already been taken to create a healthy living
environment affordable for everyone. This will result in a highly
differentiated neighbourhood with a mix of government-regulated and
liberalised rental sector homes and owner-occupied homes.
Ambition: to around 5,500 homes from 2,000
homes The Hague has high ambitions for the Dreven, Gaarden
and Zichten neighbourhoods. The city wants to combine a sharp
densification of the residential programme – to around 5,500 homes
from the current 2,000 homes – with improvements to the
neighbourhoods’ liveability, local economies, social cohesion,
health of the residents and the implementation of the mobility and
energy transition. The Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom
Relations and The Hague city council have reached a number of
agreements related to a long-term partnership on the planning and
realisation of urban renewal and densification in the southwestern
section of the city.
Construction set to start in 2023 Heijmans and
the Staedion housing corporation will work with The Hague city
council on the details of the integrated plans. The partners plan
to start construction on the first sub-plans in 2023. The shared
ambition is to then build some 500 homes each year. Heijmans will
assume responsibility for a significant part of this development.
The total renewal project is expected to require investments of
around € 1.5 billion.
More government-regulated homes The basic
premise is that the number of social, government-regulated rental
homes in Dreven, Gaarden and Zichten should at the very least
remain the same, to give every resident the chance to continue
living in the neighbourhood. Some 30% of the homes to be added also
fall into the government-regulated rental category, which amounts
to around 2,800 social homes in the neighbourhood. On top of this,
20% of the new homes will be in the mid-rental segment. The
remaining homes will be in various categories of the private
sector.
