A total of approximately 25,000 homes are to be built at an accelerated pace at the five new sites. These sites are located in Assen, Best, Middelburg/Vlissingen/Veere, Roosendaal, and Zuidplas.
This brings the total number of large-scale national housing development sites to 31. All provinces now have at least one site. A total of more than 400,000 homes will be built at these 31 sites, with construction to be accelerated through 2040. The national government is helping municipalities accelerate housing construction, in part by removing obstacles and providing financial support to municipalities.
3,500 to 6,000 homes per site
In Assen, approximately 5,000 to 6,000 homes will be built in Kloosterveen, Stadskwartier, and Zuidoost. In Stadskwartier, an outdated industrial park will be transformed into a vibrant residential neighborhood, and in Kloosterveen, the new residential development will be further expanded. In the area around the train station and on the northwest side of Best, about 3,500 homes will be built. Most of the homes will be built around the station due to its proximity to amenities, employment opportunities, and public transportation.
In the Walcheren region of Zeeland, approximately 5,000 to 6,000 homes will be built in and around Middelburg, Vlissingen, and Veere. Middelburg is expanding northeastward, and homes will also be built between Middelburg and Vlissingen. Vlissingen is focusing primarily on development within the existing city limits.
In Roosendaal, 5,000 to 6,000 homes will be built in the railway zone. Homes, amenities, and businesses will be built on former industrial sites near the station. In Cortelande, in the Zuidplas region of South Holland, an entirely new village will be built, with approximately 6,000 homes by 2040.
