The transformation of De Koog is taking shape! With the city council’s approval of the development strategy, an important step has been taken toward creating an innovative, vibrant campus. This future hub will feature approximately 2,500 new homes, specifically designed for young people, first-time buyers, and students. The campus will become a dynamic center for (e-)sports, education, technology, and new job opportunities.

Commissioned by Gemeente Purmerend, Karres en Brands together with Rebel Group, Arup, and Proof of the Sum have collaborated with all property owners to develop a strategy, spatial framework, and guidelines for this transformation. The plan is based on the vision created by BVR Adviseurs  in 2022.

De Koog is evolving from an industrial area into a thriving campus, where employment is strengthened, sports play a central role, and interaction and connectivity are encouraged. At the same time, there is a strong focus on maintaining a close relationship with the surrounding landscape. With this strategy, De Koog is moving towards a future-proof and inspiring environment.
