Heijmans to build hundreds of new rental homes in Eindhoven region
Over the next five years, Heijmans is set to build
around 400 to 500 rental houses in the Eindhoven region. This
contract is part of the extraordinary standardised social rental
homes (Gestandaardiseerde Sociale Huurwoningen – GSE) pilot
project, in which a total of 13 housing corporations and nine
municipalities in the Eindhoven Metropolitan Area
(Stedelijk Gebied Eindhoven –
SGE) have joined forces to tackle shortages in the housing market.
Efficient building process The aim of the pilot
is to make more affordable, sustainable and social rental housing
available to tenants to reduce current shortages in the housing
market, with lower construction costs and using an accelerated
construction process. The Heijmans Huismerk concept homes will help
make this possible thanks to the use of smart standardisation,
which helps reduce construction costs and accelerate the
construction process. The choice of the concept homes will enable
the efficient annual realisation of a large number of homes in the
Brainport region. If desired, Heijmans can build the homes in line
with the ‘zero on the meter’ concept. This reduces the net energy
consumption to zero by making smart use of energy-saving and
energy-generating facilities.
Unique cooperation This cooperation is unique
in the Netherlands. The SGE parties want to realise a total of 200
to 250 standardised homes annually. In addition to Heijmans (for
the family homes), BAM has also been contracted (for apartments for
one or two-person households) for the project. The homes will be
built in the nine municipalities of the SGE. The Heijmans Huismerk
standardised social rental homes will be built in locations
including Helmond, Geldrop-Mierlo, Veldhoven and Eindhoven.
Affordable rental homes Bas Sievers, director
of the Woonpartners housing corporation: “This special cooperation
sets us up for the future of residential building. Together we can
keep social rental housing affordable and we have the opportunity
to expand our housing stock.” Piet Machielsen, alderman in
the Oirschot municipality and the sponsor of the project on behalf
of the municipalities, is also pleased with the cooperation. “By
joining forces, housing corporations and municipalities are working
efficiently towards their common interest: providing tenants in our
region with a pleasant, affordable place to live.”
