Description
Hof van Rijswijk represents a contemporary residential development located in the dynamic and green city center of Rijswijk. The construction of this project is currently in full progress, with completion expected in 2025. This particular listing concerns a four room apartment situated on the seventeenth floor of one of the residential towers, offering residents an elevated living experience with impressive views over the surrounding area.
The development is situated on the former site of the V&D department store within Winkelcentrum In de Bogaard, transforming this central location into a modern residential quarter. The project comprises a total of 95 homes, consisting of 48 apartments distributed across two towers named De Prins and De Prinses, along with 47 so called Hofwoningen (courtyard homes) arranged in low rise buildings. All residences are organized around a private, green inner courtyard that serves as a peaceful communal space for residents.
This specific apartment offers a living area of approximately 97 square meters. The interior volume measures 243 cubic meters, providing a sense of spaciousness throughout the home. The property features four rooms in total, which includes three bedrooms, making it suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who require a home office space in addition to sleeping quarters.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. Additionally, there is a separate toilet room, which adds convenience for households with multiple occupants. The apartment is accessed via a portiek (shared entrance hall), which is characteristic of this type of apartment building in the Netherlands.
Being located on the seventeenth floor, this apartment benefits from significant elevation above street level. Residents can expect panoramic views across the city center of Rijswijk and the surrounding areas. The apartment includes a balcony or terrace that faces the shared inner garden, providing an outdoor space for relaxation while maintaining a degree of privacy and connection to nature.
The Hof van Rijswijk development offers a range of property types to suit different preferences and household sizes. The apartments in the towers vary in size, with the four room apartments measuring around 100 square meters as demonstrated by this listing. The Hofwoningen range from 60 square meters up to 165 square meters, featuring ceiling heights of up to 3.80 meters in some units. At the top of the towers, split level penthouse apartments are available, measuring between 120 and 172 square meters with rooftop terraces ranging from 27 to 37 square meters.
The location in Winkelcentrum In de Bogaard places residents in close proximity to various retail establishments, dining options, and everyday services. The city center of Rijswijk offers a combination of urban convenience and green spaces, aligning with contemporary preferences for sustainable and walkable living environments.
Parking for residents is available through rental arrangements in the nearby P4 or P5 parking garages. The listing indicates that there are sufficient parking spaces available to accommodate residents of the development. This arrangement means that parking costs are not included in the purchase price and will represent an additional monthly expense.
The asking price for this apartment is set at 540,000 euros, which is stated as vrij op naam, meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the property transfer are included in this amount. The price per square meter works out to approximately 5,567 euros, which reflects the new construction status, the elevated floor level, and the central location of the development.
As this is a new construction project with completion anticipated in 2025, the energy label has not yet been assigned. New buildings constructed under current Dutch building regulations typically meet high energy efficiency standards, though specific ratings will be determined upon completion and certification of the property.
The developer has established an information center at Bogaardplein 10 in Rijswijk, where prospective buyers can visit during designated hours to learn more about the project and view available properties. The project website at hofvanrijswijk.nl provides additional information about the available units and the overall development concept.
The delivery of the property will be arranged by mutual agreement between buyer and seller, as is standard practice for new construction projects in the Netherlands. Buyers of new construction properties typically have opportunities to influence certain finishing choices and specifications during the construction process, though the extent of such options should be confirmed directly with the developer.
Rijswijk is a municipality located in the province of South Holland, situated between The Hague and Delft. The town offers good connections to major urban centers through public transportation and road networks, making it an attractive location for commuters working in the Randstad region. The combination of a central location within Rijswijk itself and the broader regional accessibility contributes to the appeal of this development.
The architectural concept of Hof van Rijswijk emphasizes the integration of residential living with green spaces. The enclosed inner garden serves as a focal point for the community, providing a tranquil environment that contrasts with the urban setting outside the development. This design approach reflects current trends in residential development that prioritize well being and community interaction among residents.
