The renovation of the former Sting store in Leiden has started, as part of the redevelopment of the former V&D complex in Leiden’s city center. The Sting property on Breestraat will be transformed into a mixed-use location with retail and fitness facilities.
On the ground floor, Coolblue will open a new store of approximately 800 m². With this move, Coolblue will relocate from its current location on Breestraat to a larger and more efficient space. The new store is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2026.
With this development, the former Sting building marks the first concrete realization within the large-scale redevelopment of the listed V&D complex between Breestraat and Aalmarkt. On behalf of owner CCap, NEOO, in collaboration with Mulderblauw Architects and the Municipality of Leiden, is developing a future-proof mixed-use destination where people can shop, work, exercise, dine, and stay. Sustainability, reuse, and respect for the building’s heritage are central to the project. The renovation is being carried out by Retail Bouw Nederland.
Bettings Vastgoed B.V. and NEOO jointly acted as advisors on behalf of the landlord.
