Urban renewal on the edge of the Helderse city center

Projects

The city exudes an atmosphere of renewal and pride. Outdated buildings are being extensively renovated or making way for stylish new construction, allowing the city to retain its unique character while simultaneously moving forward with a breath of fresh air. Be surprised by the transformation of iconic buildings such as the former V&D building, the former Post Office, or, for example, the old Mastenloods at Willemsoord. The buildings are being extensively renovated and give the city character.

Redevelopment of Kroonpassage

The Kroonpassage is being redeveloped. Part of the Kroonpassage will remain but is being renovated to accommodate a new supermarket and retail space. The remaining part of the Kroonpassage will be demolished to make room for a new square. In addition to creating a pleasant environment, parking is being improved, and the design of the square takes the changing climate into account.

Seasaw

In Den Helder, atop the Zeedijk and perpendicular to the coastline, the Seasaw rises: a gigantic, walkable infinity symbol made of 3D-printed sustainable material. The Seasaw moves with the tides and connects the sea and the city: it is visible from afar whether it is high or low tide.
