Houthavenkade in Zaandam is gradually coming to life

On Houthavenkade in Zaandam, a new waterside residential estate is developing into a vibrant place to call home. Over the past month, a further 46 flats have been handed over to their new residents. This brings the completion of this special housing project ever closer.

In total, Houthavenkade comprises 172 private-sector rental homes. The first residents received the keys to their new homes in September 2025. Since then, the neighbourhood has been taking shape and the community of residents has continued to grow.

Living by the water

What makes Houthavenkade special is its location. Situated right on the quay, with views of the marina and the water, you’ll be living in a place where tranquillity and city life come together. Residents enjoy a modern living environment with all everyday amenities within easy reach, whilst the water creates a unique atmosphere.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, live alone or are looking for a new home together: Houthavenkade offers comfortable rental properties in an attractive location in Zaandam.

A neighbourhood in the making

With every new block completed, the neighbourhood comes more to life. New neighbours are getting to know one another, public spaces are being used more and more, and the area is developing its own character. That is precisely what makes it special to be part of a new residential neighbourhood right from the start.

In recent weeks, a further 46 households have moved into one of the flats. For them, a new chapter is beginning in a place that will only continue to grow in the coming years.

Committed even after handover

With a new-build project, it doesn’t end once the last key has been handed over. In the years to come, attention will continue to be paid to living comfort and the management of the complex. This means residents can count on a pleasant living environment where everything is well organised.

Houthavenkade demonstrates how a former harbour site is gradually being transformed into a modern waterside residential estate. And the best part? More and more residents can now say: this is my home.
