Description
Hofweg 9, The Hague
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This concerns a monumental building with a representative appearance and a wide frontage, ensuring excellent visibility for both pedestrians and passing traffic.
The owner will deliver the commercial premises in shell condition, providing the tenant with maximum flexibility to fit out the space according to its own concept and requirements.
The entrance is located at the front of the building and provides direct access to the commercial space on the ground floor. The basement is accessible via an internal connection and is highly suitable for supporting functions such as storage, back office facilities, or additional customer space.
On the upper floors, the owner will realize a high-end hotel facility in the luxury segment. A ground floor concept that functionally and conceptually complements this development—such as high-quality retail, lifestyle, food & beverage, or service-oriented businesses—will be considered a clear added value.
For the premises at Hofweg 9, a terrace permit will be applied for, allowing for a terrace of approximately 1.5 meters from the façade, enhancing both the quality of stay and visibility. The location is particularly well suited for light horeca (hospitality) use, such as a lunchroom, coffee concept, or similar daytime catering, in line with the surroundings and pedestrian flow.
The retail unit also benefits from a substantial window frontage along the side façade, which is currently underutilized. This façade offers excellent opportunities to introduce additional natural daylight and, depending on the concept, can significantly enhance the experience and appearance of the space. This contributes to an open, bright, and inviting atmosphere and increases the commercial appeal of the location.
LOCATION FACTORS
Available for lease are the ground floor and basement of a monumental building, situated at an absolute A1 location at Hofweg 9 in The Hague, directly opposite the Binnenhof and adjacent to the Haagse Passage, the oldest covered shopping arcade in the Netherlands.
The building is a representative and characteristic national monument, originally constructed between 1913 and 1915, with a rich history and a highly recognizable appearance.
Its location on Hofweg, directly connected to the Haagse Passage and near Spui and Plein, ensures a continuous flow of pedestrians consisting of tourists, shoppers, day visitors, and business visitors. This combination makes the location particularly attractive for entrepreneurs seeking visibility and prestige. The new entrance to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) will be realized at Hofplaats, directly opposite the premises. This is expected to generate a significant increase in visitors and passers-by, from which the tenant will directly benefit. In combination with the prominent location and hospitality possibilities, Hofweg 9 represents a highly attractive business location.
The area is characterized by a unique mix of national retail chains, international brands, and local entrepreneurs. In the immediate vicinity, retailers and concepts include H&M, Primark, Albert Heijn, and Zara (Home), as well as various specialty stores and hospitality establishments around Spui, Buitenhof, and the Haagse Passage. This combination of strong retail anchors, tourist presence, and local quality contributes to a vibrant and stable commercial environment.
