On Tuesday 8th of July, the construction of Westminster officially began. Alderman Beryl van Straten-van Diepenbeek (Municipality of Haarlemmermeer), Erik Esveld MSc EMFC/RC (Van Herk Groep), Dick van der Plas (KBM Groep), and Sander van Oss (NEOO) together performed the ceremonial groundbreaking.
Westminster is part of the Hyde Park area development, where former office buildings are making way for a high-quality, vibrant, and sustainable residential district. At the site on Jupiterstraat (the future Dudokstraat), a closed building block will rise, consisting of nine apartment buildings called the ‘Hoofddorpse Huizen’.
NEOO is developing four of these buildings on behalf of Van Herk Groep, designed by Vision Architecture. They will deliver 198 rental apartments, 60 percent of which will be in the affordable segment, along with two commercial spaces and facilities for car and bicycle parking. Construction is being carried out by contractor KBM Groep, with completion planned for the first quarter of 2028.
