We are pleased to announce that Veldboom recently became the owner of the Ebbehout 1 location in Zaandam, better known as ‘De Tijdgeest’. At this location, 306 new middle rent and private sector apartments will be constructed. The environmental permit has already been issued for the construction of the complex. ‘De Tijdgeest’ is located a stone’s throw from the train station in Zaandam. A sustainable and high-quality residential building with 9 storeys will be built on the site of the former Achmea office. ‘De Tijdgeest’ will provide a housing boost in the bustling center of Zaandam. Underneath the new apartment complex,a modern 2-storey parking garage will be built.
The apartment complex consists of a composition of various building blocks, each with its own character. The homes are will be constructed sustainably with an EPG of 0.16. The residential building will also be equipped with a TES (Thermal Energy Storage) system, a sustainable and extremely economical energy source. ‘De Tijdgeest’ is located next to a well-known hot-spot for many Dutch and Europeans; The Zaanse Schans. The Zaanse Schans is home to the world-famous Zaanse Huisjes and numerous industrial windmills dating back to the 17th century.
