Renovation of Raadhuisplein can commence
On Tuesday, March 24, the municipality of Dijk en Waard and Centrumwaard Vastgoed signed an ante-dated agreement to enable a construction plan in Centrumwaard. The plan involves the construction of approximately 75 homes, around 1,500 m² of commercial space, and an indoor parking facility. To make this construction possible, it will be necessary to close off the section of the square currently accessible to public traffic. The new municipal council will decide on this matter.
Location
The construction site is located at the intersection of Middenweg, Raadhuisstraat, Bickerstraat, and Van Loonstraat. Currently, the area houses shops, hospitality businesses, and 13 homes. The plan also includes part of the existing Raadhuisplein, which is used by pedestrians and cyclists. This space is owned by the Raadhuisstraat Owners' Association and is affiliated with Centrumwaard Vastgoed BV.
Reasoning
The buildings along Raadhuisstraat are heavily outdated. Individually renovating them is not feasible. Therefore, a joint approach has been chosen, developing a single plan. The starting point is the phased demolition of the buildings in this area. New construction will also take place in two phases. The plan includes an adequate number of parking spaces, thanks to an underground parking garage on the ground floor. A rooftop garden will be built on top of the garage.
For whom?
Centrumwaard Vastgoed BV has applied the principle of "new for old" in agreements with current homeowners in the area. In exchange for their existing homes, they will move into new properties within the construction plan. Similar agreements have been made with the owners of commercial and hospitality properties. Some of them will relocate to spaces in the new building.
This construction plan marks a significant step toward transforming Centrumwaard into a vibrant and thriving village center.
