Some business parks in Gelderland are outdated or do not meet the needs of entrepreneurs. Demolition and remediation often cost a lot of money. With the new OHG Impulse fund, we are investing € 9 million in the demolition, remediation, and restructuring of plots in business parks.

Smarter Use of Space in Business Parks 

The OHG Impulse fund (Development and Restructuring Company Gelderland) can purchase locations, demolish old buildings, remediate sites, and prepare them for new construction. The new fund invests in this restructuring and helps with any ‘unprofitable top’. This is the part of a real estate project that is not cost-covering because the costs are higher than the revenues. So far, 8 initiators have come forward.

From Subsidy Scheme to Fund 

We have previously tackled outdated business parks. For example, the business park Misterweg in Winterswijk, near the former brick factory De Vlijt. There are now new business plots, and we strengthened the nearby nature. Through OHG Impulse, we continue to assist in the restructuring of parcels in business parks. No longer through subsidies, but through a fund that can take the initiative itself.

We need more space for businesses in Gelderland.

Existing business parks also need to be restructured. This costs a lot of money. And it is not always profitable enough for the market. Hence this € 9 million extra help. The space available must be used as efficiently as possible. This can also be done by building on unused parts of plots, reconfiguring vacant buildings, and by building more upwards. There is still much to be gained from the existing sites.

Restructuring Existing Plots 

Some business parks or business locations are so old or no longer fit the market that they are no longer attractive as a location for entrepreneurs. By reorganizing plots in business parks, they become attractive to use again. Thus, new construction is not always necessary. 

What can OHG Impulse do for you?

OHG Impulse falls under the Top Fund Gelderland. This is an investment fund that invests in innovative companies and projects that contribute to social challenges. Such as the transition to sustainable energy (energy transition), adjustments due to the changing climate (climate adaptation), sustainable redevelopment, and the business climate. The execution of the OHG Impulse fund is handled by Oost NL.
