Living in The Hague means living in the only large Dutch city by the sea! Just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful historic city centre with its stately buildings, you will find more than 10 kilometres of beach and unspoilt dunes. Just 15 minutes on the tram will allow you to breathe in the fresh seaside air and enjoy the sound of the waves. Just one of the reasons that The Hague is such a popular place with people looking for properties. Let’s take a look at three unique new build and transformed property developments currently being realised by leading national developer and builder, VORM, in various parts of The Hague:

De Stadhouders

“De Stadhouders” are named after several important Stadtholders from the 17th century. The project is being constructed right on the border of the popular Statenkwartier and Duinoord city districts, which is one of the most sought-after living and working locations in The Hague. This new residential complex consist of three buildings, one for each of the Stadtholders. The inner courtyard will be transformed into a green and car-free city square. Apartments in the tallest of the three buildings, Frederik Hendrik, are currently up for sale, while the other two buildings will be developed over the next year. In total, 260 new homes are planned in this development, all combining the luxury of a hotel with the relaxation of your own space. The apartments, which are on offer in a range of sizes, are characterised by spacious living areas and beautiful panoramic views of the city and the beach. All feature a Bulthaup kitchen, two bathrooms and have their own parking and storage facilities. Would you like to know more?

Berlagehuis

The beautiful and monumental Berlagehuis in the heart of The Hague is in the process of being completely transformed into a residential accommodation. As a national heritage site, the building benefits from a stunning entrance hall, beautiful communal areas and high ceilings with interesting architectural details. The 57 stunning new homes will preserve the exceptional qualities of the building. Every home will be unique and will be available as town houses, apartments and penthouses. Parking is available on the site. There is even an opportunity for new homeowners to purchase a separate studio or atelier in the building, perfect for people who want to pursue a creative lifestyle or who want to have extra storage space or lay down an extensive wine cellar! Of course, the location of the Berlagehuis in the heart of the city is perfect, as it is close to all amenities. Access to public transport is good and motorway connections are within easy reach.

Binck Plaats

Binck Plaats (Binck Place) is part of a larger development project in the Binckhorst, situated on the side of Voorburg. The site, which was previously home to a large industrial warehouse complex, is to be transformed into 46 spacious family homes. The homes vary in living space between around 164 m2 and 186 m2 across three or four levels.

The homes lend themselves to a number of divisions, with the ground floor providing ideal work/living spaces, and first floors being offered in a range of depths. Upper floors can be utilised for bedrooms or bathrooms, and properties benefit from gardens up to 15 metres deep. A parking garage is included in the development and homes offer views of the neighbouring waterways and open green spaces. Building is due to start in the middle of 2018 with the properties being delivered towards the end of 2019. Discover more.
