Dorpshart Uithoorn

Platform
Area between Laan van Meerwijk, Prinses Irenelaan, Dorpsstraat and Amstelplein, Uithoorn.

The town of Uithoorn is divided in two by a provincial road, the N210. In 2005 the province decided to move this road, thus creating a good chance for Uithoorn to create an actual village center and connect the two parts of the village. Besides additional retail space and commercial space, town apartments will be developed and realized around a town square with a pleasant ambiance with respect for the authentically village character.

Concept
The town Uithoorn is divided in two by a provincial road, N210. Since it has been decided to move this road, Uithoorn now has a good chance to create an actual town center. Next to the current shopping center, stores and apartments are being built around a town square with a pleasant ambiance.

Size

• Town apartments - 132 in total
• Retail – 4,230 sqm
• Food and Beverage establishments – 1,980 sqm
• Parking garage – Apr. 400 spaces

Phase
Together with the municipality we are developing the plans, on which the new zoning plan will be based.

Who will/has developed
Bouwfonds ontwikkeling (formally Rabo Vastgoed) has signed a letter of intent with the municipality to redevelop the village center.

Challenge
Our task consists of the right implementation of the TCN-concept, called ‘The Heart’. This concept will attract consumers from the entire region to Uithoorn’s shopping center. This will turn Uithoorn into an example for other town centers. Important factors in this process will be the right ambiance, (architecture, food & beverage establishments) and accessibility.

Ownership
Most of the site is owned by the municipality. After the zoning procedures have been finalized, the ownership of the site will be transferred to Bouwfonds ontwikkeling and TCN.
