Good news for the Museum Quarter in Vlaardingen: the building permits are now final, and construction of the homes has officially begun.

At the Westhavenkade and Vetteoordskade, we are transforming 10 national monuments in Vlaardingen into 79 sustainable homes.

The planning process involved close collaboration with the Municipality of Vlaardingen, and now that the permits are final, we can move forward rapidly with the construction of these unique homes.

The Sprij buildings, the Kwakkelstein complex, and Warmelo & Van der Drift are symbols of Vlaardingen’s rich history during the heyday of the herring industry. After years of vacancy, these buildings are now being given a new, sustainable future. Many curious locals had already noticed that preservation work on the buildings had begun, as the construction site on Westhavenkade is attracting a lot of attention.

Museum Quarter Vlaardingen is part of the Rivierzone Vlaardingen, an area development project with around 2,500 new homes and amenities. In the inner courtyard surrounded by the heritage buildings, Dura Vermeer is building 82 contemporary owner-occupied homes on behalf of area developer BPD Bouwfonds Gebiedsontwikkeling.

The homes in the monumental warehouses are being developed in the mid-range and high-end rental segments and are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
