Permit granted for transformation of Bosscheweg 107 into 55 apartments
The municipality of Boxtel is collaborating with the project initiator on the transformation of the distinctive building D’n Daalder at Bosscheweg 107. The application for an environmental permit (BOPA – *Buitenplanse Omgevingsplanactiviteit*) was submitted in December 2025. The permit has been granted today, March 18, 2026.
From office building to residential location
The striking wooden building at the Bosscheweg–Dukaat roundabout is one of the designated infill development sites in Boxtel. The current office designation no longer aligns with demand and usage: the building is largely vacant, and the remaining lease agreements expire in early 2027. The project initiator plans to transform the building into 55 apartments, creating a new residential location in an already built-up area. The municipal executive supports this development, seeing it as a valuable addition to the housing supply.
Councillor Van der Zanden:
“This is a textbook example of how things can move quickly—and that is desperately needed for our residents who are calling for more housing. Just before the summer of 2024, I had the first discussion about the transformation, and now the plan has already been granted. This is the result of excellent collaboration between the project initiator and the municipality, leading to a fantastic transformation from an office building to residential housing.”
Apartments
The transformation will result in 55 owner-occupied apartments, primarily aimed at first-time buyers and small households. The homes range from 45 to 96 m². The units will feature green gardens at ground level on the rear side, loggias on the upper floors, and a shared, noise-reduced rooftop terrace on the top floor. The building’s structural framework will be preserved, while the façade will be fully renewed to allow more natural light and a contemporary appearance.
Greening and sustainability
The project contributes to sustainable and circular construction. Energy-efficient installations and solar panels will be installed. Additional trees and/or greenery will be added, and the design will ensure climate-resilient features.
Planning
If everything proceeds as planned, the conversion from offices to apartments will begin in 2027, with completion expected in 2028.
