The 'Final Phase' of Tuinbuurt Vrijlandt Rotterdam Now for Sale

Timeless Garden Village Architecture

The architectural design is based on the garden village architecture of the 1930s. Garden villages are characterized by specific spatial and social features with plenty of greenery. Extensive use is made of green property boundaries and various types of hedges, and the public space will feature a wide variety of plantings. This contributes to an intimate and enclosed design of the streets while creating a romantic and village-like atmosphere where social interaction is central. The use of decorative elements such as gates and ornaments is a typical feature of garden village architecture. The different roof shapes and the use of bay windows provide a lot of variety in the design of the housing types.

The detached houses have a spacious plot with their own driveway and garage. In addition to the detached houses, some semi-detached and corner houses also have a garage with their own driveway. All other homes have a garden shed with a green roof, emphasizing the green garden village character of the neighborhood. Parking is available on the private driveway or in a designated parking space within the inner area. Additionally, extra parking spaces are available.

Sustainable Living

All homes are gas-free and connected to district heating. Thanks to sustainable installations and additional solar panels, the homes are even energy-neutral, which not only provides comfort but also lowers living expenses. This excellent sustainability performance offers opportunities for attractive sustainable mortgage options thanks to the green certificate. To promote sustainable mobility, electric shared cars and charging facilities will be included in the neighborhood.

Biodiversity In and Around the Home

Living in Tuinbuurt Vrijlandt means residing in a characteristic and sustainable home by or near the water. Through collaboration with Jantje Beton and JOGG (Young People at a Healthy Weight), special attention has been paid to making the neighborhood child-friendly, with various playgrounds and extra-wide sidewalks for safe and pleasant play. In partnership with Vogelbescherming Nederland (Dutch Bird Protection Society), measures have been taken to make the area as attractive as possible for birds and other wildlife.

Accelerating Housing Construction

Maarten Wittens, Regional Director at Ballast Nedam Development: "We are proud to realize such a sustainable, nature-rich, and climate-adaptive neighborhood of nearly 300 homes in the city of Rotterdam, where residents can enjoy a high quality of life. The sales of the three previous sub-plans with owner-occupied homes have gone well, and construction is already in full preparation and will begin next month. Thanks to a good collaboration with the Municipality of Rotterdam, Havensteder, and Ballast Nedam Development, Tuinbuurt Vrijlandt was recently awarded the Rotterdamse Bouwdouwers 2021 Award. We are confident that this final phase will also be a great success and look forward to welcoming new residents."
