44 apartments for over-55s in Wassenaar delivered to ASR Dutch Core Residential Fund

The entire Ridderhof project in Wassenaar was recently completed and delivered to ASR Dutch Core Residential Fund by Voorschoten-based contractor Niersman. The dwellings are spread across two buildings, each housing 22 apartments. Priority in the allocation of the dwellings has been given to over-55s, in line with the commitment of a.s.r. real estate's residential fund to improve mobility in the housing market by offering suitable homes for people in this age category. 

Ridderhof is situated in a distinctive location in Wassenaar, with St. Willibrord’s Church, the vicarage and the Warenar theatre nearby. The design of the project highlights classical architectural elements and features individual four-storey buildings.

In early October, tenants were handed the keys to their new homes, following the initial key handover to the first tenants in June. The single-level one and two-bedroom apartments range in size from 67m² to 81m² and have their own individual outdoor area and storage space. There is also a communal courtyard space, which provides a pleasant living environment and serves as a meeting place for residents. There is a good range of shops in the area, several care centres, a lot of green spaces and areas for recreation. Leiden and The Hague are also within easy reach.

Robbert van Dijk, Fund Director at ASR Dutch Core Residential Fund: ‘Finding suitable accommodation is a challenge for many over-55s nowadays. We believe it is important to help improve mobility in the housing market while offering as many people as possible the opportunity to live in a suitable and comfortable home. This project demonstrates our ability to blend contemporary needs with a compact design, providing residents with ample space to easily get to know each other.’
