Binck City Park / Callistoweg

In the Binckhorst district in The Hague, the new construction project Binck City Park is taking shape. The homes will be completed on March 27, 2025. The project consists of four residential towers connected around a shared rooftop garden, with a parking garage located beneath. The development includes 896 apartments catering to a variety of target groups. Block 3 of the project contains 197 self-contained student apartments, which DUWO will rent from the building owner. The project was developed in collaboration with Rockfield and VORM, and after completion, the properties will be owned by M&G. The apartments are located at Callistoweg 202 to 594, right next to one of The Hague's oldest buildings: Binckhorst Castle. From the Common Room at the base of the building, residents have a view of the castle.

In the project render, Block 3 can be seen in the lower left corner—a brick-colored block spanning the full width, with seven floors.

The rooms
There are 197 self-contained apartments. All units will be semi-furnished, and some will also be fully furnished for international students. Some rooms on the sides of the building will feature balconies.

Amenities
In addition to a Common Room, the building includes a laundry facility and a large multi-level indoor bicycle storage area equipped with an electric transport belt.

The Surroundings
The Binckhorst district is being transformed from an old industrial area into a modern residential neighborhood, blending living and working spaces in a mix of old and new buildings with plenty of greenery. According to the municipality, the area will become one of "global allure and urban quality." The location is excellent, just a stone's throw from The Hague's city center.

Sustainability
The building will be connected to Eneco BinckNet®, a decentralized heating network based on geothermal heat storage (WKO) for the supply of heating and cooling. Combined with applied insulation and ventilation solutions, this results in excellent energy ratings (A++). The rooftop garden, often referred to as the rooftop park due to its size, is particularly noteworthy. It is a biodiversity-rich park designed with nature inclusion in mind, functioning as a fully-fledged ecosystem that provides space for birds, bees, caterpillars, and butterflies. It also serves as a relaxing green space for residents.

Applying for the studios
The studios will be handed over to DUWO on March 27, 2025, and subsequently rented out via ROOM.nl to full-time students under a campus contract. All units will be offered in the social housing category, making it possible to apply for rent allowance. The studios will be listed on ROOM at the beginning of March.
