CENTRE VILLE IS READY FOR DELIVERY

Centre Ville, the new apartment complex on the corner of Kanaalstraat and Heereweg in Lisse, is ready for delivery. On Friday 19 January, the symbolic handover of keys took place between Alderman Jolanda Langeveld, Olaf Nieuwenhuis of Kroonenberg Groep and Kim van der Kroft, the proud new owner of one of the flats. The handover signaled the start of project delivery.

Kroonenberg Groep acquired the business premises from Mijnders Meubelen in 2008. In 2015, the Municipality of Lisse approached Kroonenberg Groep with a request to redevelop the building. This was the start of the ambitious project to transform it into a building primarily for residential use, with space for commercial purposes on the ground floor.

Prompted by input from within the neighbourhood and changes in the market for commercial spaces, architect Tim Versteegh’s original design underwent some adjustments during the zoning process. The ultimate focus was on creating a contemporary living environment, equipped for hybrid working and living. Centre Ville provides 24 owner-occupied flats, six of which are connected to a ground-floor commercial space located on the shopping street. The ‘box of blocks’ has given way to a variety of volumes, details and use of colour. The light and airy spaces and plenty of glass in the façade create vibrancy befitting a shopping street.

Centre Ville will make an important contribution to Lisse’s townscape. The project embodies a seamless integration of modern living and business, with respect for the existing urban structure and the wishes of the community at its core.

Demolition work started in 2021 and construction began in summer 2022. All flats will be delivered by early February.
