Spacious New-Build Apartment with Southeast Balcony in Dordrecht Stadswerven
Key Features
Description
This new-build apartment is part of the Stadswerven De Hendrik development, specifically located in Block C under the name Catharina with construction number 89. The property is situated in the Stadswerven area of Dordrecht, a residential neighbourhood that combines proximity to water with convenient access to the city centre.
The apartment offers a living area of approximately 117 square metres, making it a generously sized three-room apartment. In addition to the main living space, there is 50 square metres of other indoor space and 10 square metres of building-related outdoor space in the form of a balcony. The total volume of the apartment is 351 cubic metres.
The layout consists of a living room and two bedrooms, providing flexibility in how the space is used. The two rooms adjacent to the living area can serve as bedrooms, but they also offer possibilities for a guest room, hobby room, or home office depending on the needs of the residents. The apartment includes one bathroom with a shower and washbasin, as well as a separate toilet.
The property is located on the sixth floor of the building and is accessible by lift, which adds convenience for daily living. The building is classified as a portiekflat, which is a common type of apartment building in the Netherlands with a shared entrance area.
The balcony faces southeast, allowing residents to catch morning and early afternoon sun. This orientation is particularly pleasant for enjoying outdoor moments earlier in the day.
The apartment has been awarded an A++ energy label, which is the highest rating available under the current Dutch energy labelling system. This indicates excellent energy efficiency. The building features full insulation and uses district heating (stadsverwarming) as the heating system. District heating is a centralised system that distributes heat generated from a central source to multiple buildings, typically offering efficiency benefits and reduced individual maintenance requirements.
The construction of this apartment is planned for completion in 2026. As new construction, the property comes with an SWK Guarantee Certificate, which is a quality guarantee commonly used in Dutch construction projects. This certificate provides buyers with certain warranties regarding the quality of construction and materials used.
The Stadswerven development is located near water, reflecting Dordrecht's character as a city with strong connections to its waterways. The location offers the possibility to walk towards the inner city for various amenities, including restaurants and cultural venues, while returning to a quieter residential setting.
Parking at this location consists of paid on-street parking and access to a parking garage. The specific parking arrangements and any associated costs or options for purchasing a parking space would need to be clarified through the project developer.
The property is offered through a registration process rather than a traditional listing with immediate viewing opportunities. Interested parties are required to submit their preferences via the project website before 17 May at 17:00. This sales method is typical for new-build projects in the Netherlands, where developers collect expressions of interest before allocating properties based on preferences and priority criteria.
The asking price is 664,900 euros, offered vrij op naam, meaning the buyer is not responsible for transfer tax and certain other transaction costs that would normally apply to property purchases. The price per square metre of living space is approximately 5,683 euros.
The transfer date and acceptance terms are to be agreed upon, which is standard for properties that are still under construction. The exact completion date and handover schedule would be determined as the construction progresses.
The property is offered as full ownership (volle eigendom), which means the buyer acquires complete ownership of the apartment. The cadastral information references DORDRECHT A 0, though specific parcel details would be established upon completion of the construction and division of the new building into individual units.
Dordrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, located in the province of South Holland. The city has a historic centre with numerous monuments and a well-preserved urban structure. The Stadswerven area represents a more modern addition to the city's housing stock, developed to meet contemporary housing needs while taking advantage of the waterfront location.
Living on the sixth floor provides a degree of privacy and often offers views that are not available from lower levels. The presence of a lift ensures that accessibility is not compromised despite the elevated position.
The apartment is suitable for various household compositions, from couples to individuals who value extra space for work or hobbies. The two-room configuration alongside the living area offers a balance between communal living space and private areas.
As this is a new-build property, buyers will have the opportunity to influence certain finishing choices depending on the options offered by the developer, though specific customization possibilities would need to be confirmed through the project documentation.
