NAM KEE AND FEBO TO OPEN ON GELDERLANDPLEIN

Kroonenberg Groep has reached an agreement with Nam Kee for a long-term lease on Gelderlandplein. The leased property concerns retail catering premises of 177 m2 located at AJ Ernststraat 587. Until recently, this location housed FEBO.

The first Nam Kee restaurant was opened by Nam Chan on Amsterdam’s Zeedijk in 1981. Nam Chan worked in the kitchen preparing authentic Cantonese dishes without letting them become ‘Dutchified’. In 1992, the second restaurant opened on Geldersekade, followed by the third on Marie Heinekenplein in 2010. Nam Kee has become a well-known name over the years, including through Kees van Beijnum’s popular novel The Oysters of Nam Kee, which was later also turned into a film. Nam Kee is still known for its authentic Cantonese cuisine. The lease commenced on 1 January and the restaurant will open in Q2.

A new long-term lease was signed with FEBO for a new location at Van Leijenberghlaan 140. HeyCha was located here until recently. The leased property concerns approximately 38 m2 on the ground floor and 30 m2 on the 1st floor. The lease commenced on 1 February and the new FEBO will open its doors after a short installation period. FEBO was founded in 1942 by Johan de Borst, a pastry baker. The chain now has more than 70 locations and is still owned by the De Borst family. The croquettes and hamburgers are still prepared fresh every day according to Grandpa De Borst’s original recipes and continuously monitored to make sure that the products are up to the same standard of quality as ever.

Kroonenberg Groep is advised on the leasing of Gelderlandplein by Kroese Paternotte.
