This is Houthavenkade

Located just south of the city center and directly along the water of the Oude Haven, Houthavenkade is a stunning addition to Zaandam’s inner city. Here, two-, three-, and four-room mid-market rental apartments are being realized in one of the city’s most desirable locations.

Houthavenkade is evolving into a distinctive residential area with views over Zaandam’s picturesque harbor. Residents will enjoy carefully landscaped inner gardens and a lively waterside square designed to encourage connection and community. From the apartments, you can look out over the quay, the water, or the vibrant street life below. The area also offers beautiful long views and unique perspectives of this charming part of Zaandam. The neighborhood will be largely car-free, featuring innovative shared mobility solutions, with the option to rent a private parking space.

Will Houthavenkade soon become the green and contemporary living environment where you instantly feel at home?

Homes in Phase 2A

Phase 2A consists of 46 apartments, offering two- and three-room layouts with living areas ranging from approximately 54 to 123 m². The homes are delivered fully finished and ready to move in, featuring modern PVC flooring, a luxury kitchen, and a fully completed bathroom. Most apartments are single-level and all are accessible by elevator. Each home includes a pleasant outdoor space, and at least 73 parking spaces are available within the development. Completion is expected by the end of Q1 2026.

The new urban district will form a connecting link between the Havenbuurt, Het Eiland, and the Russische Buurt. It will create an attractive new gateway to Zaandam’s city center, inspired by the area’s rich harbor history and its close relationship with the water.
