Redevelopment of ANWB site

In September 2020, ANWB expressed its intention to vacate the ANWB site on Wassenaarseweg. This will free up the entire site for redevelopment.

The redevelopment of the ANWB site offers opportunities for the housing market in Wassenaar and in the Hague region. Between 400 and 425 homes will be built, 25% of which will be social. The maximum building height of the new buildings is 26 to 47 meters. The existing monuments will remain standing. In the building the traffic circle there will be space for facilities. With this, the development will also contribute to the level of amenities for the immediate area. 

The historical value of the buildings and the surroundings will be carefully handled during the redevelopment. The combination of living in green surroundings, close to the amenities of The Hague and the dunes will make the area attractive to future residents.

The project has now entered the final planning phase. Once the final studies have been completed, the zoning plan and image quality plan will be presented to the Wassenaar City Council for adoption. This will be in the fall of 2023.

The www.residentieparkzicht.nl page provides more information about the plan.

Below you will find the various documents on which the City Council has decided or been informed.
