Geleenhof residential location for starters and small households
The municipality of Heerlen grants the environmental permit for the redevelopment of the historic Geleenhof on the Valkenburgerweg. The monumental farm from 1688 will be given a new purpose with 17 modern apartments. The homes are mainly for starters and one- or two-person households.
With the change we ensure the preservation of the monumental value and a redevelopment of the surroundings. We make the terrain around the Geleenhof partly accessible to the public. And we ensure that the landscape fits in with the historical house meadows and the stream valley. The homes fall into the medium rental and expensive rental category.
Alderman Marco Peters sees this development as a major step forward: “With the transformation of the Geleenhof, we are giving this heritage a valuable new future. It shows how we can connect history and modern living needs.”
The Geleenhof is centrally located in the Geleenbeekdal and strengthens the connection between the Terworm estate and surrounding monuments. This project makes the Geleenhof a meaningful place in Heerlen again.
