Wooncompagnie and Hollands Kroon explore acceleration of construction of 56 rental homes in Dorsmolen-Oost
To accelerate housing construction in Dorsmolen-Oost, housing corporation Wooncompagnie and the municipality of Hollands Kroon are exploring the possibilities. On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, an intent agreement was signed for this collaboration. The goal is to build 56 rental homes as quickly as possible in Dorsmolen-Oost in Wieringerwerf.
Faster construction for first-time buyers and seniors in Wieringerwerf
There is a significant housing shortage. That is why the municipality and Wooncompagnie are working together to build homes more quickly for first-time buyers and seniors. Wooncompagnie will have the rental homes built and rented out.
We are very pleased with this! Together with Wooncompagnie, we are now looking at the opportunities for Wieringerwerf. It is so important that young people, families, and the elderly can live well and no longer have to wait for a suitable home.
Suitable homes next to the Oosterterpweg
Plans are also being made in Wieringerwerf for the Oosterterpweg: a new future residential area on the initiative of the municipality and the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf. Both locations are adjacent to each other. It is important that the new homes in Dorsmolen fit into the surroundings. That is why the same urban planning firm IMOSS has been engaged for Dorsmolen-Oost.
What is the timeline for Dorsmolen-Oost?
The preparation for the spatial planning procedure is in full swing. Permits and a design are required for the plan. At the beginning of 2026, the urban design will be developed. The goal is for Wooncompagnie to commission the construction of the homes in 2027.
