There is a rising demand for floating homes and water storage in the Netherlands. Now Bouwfonds Property Development, AquaPlanning, Betonson and recently Van Oord have signed a declaration of intent to develop the ‘WaterplusHousing’ concept that is to meet both demands.
WaterplusHousing
The new concept provides the basis for developing entire residential neighbourhoods on the water, including floating roads, outdoor cafes, greenery, and so on. The partners intend to test the feasibility of their concept in a new housing development, part of the Westeraam project in the town of Elst. A water storage facility is to be constructed in the Westeraam district, and the partners are investigating whether their concept can contribute both to water storage and floating homes in a way that is financially attractive and of good quality.
