Amphia sells hospital site in Oosterhout to NBU

NBU will take over the site from Amphia at the beginning of 2025. Until the move to the adjacent location, Amphia will lease back the current building. Once Amphia has relocated, the existing hospital building will be demolished to make way for residential construction. In constructive collaboration with the municipality of Oosterhout and other stakeholders, NBU will develop plans for a robust area development.

The future vision for the current Amphia site in Oosterhout includes the preservation and development of significant medical facilities for Oosterhout and the region, the addition of approximately 400 homes, a spacious public transport facility (OV hub), and parking facilities appropriate for the mentioned functions. As is customary in NBU’s area developments, the plan will be characterised by a natural, green foundation.

The transformation of the Amphia site fits well with NBU, says Deputy Director Thijs Voesenek: “We enjoy putting together an inner-city puzzle. That is one of the reasons we were attracted to this location. And it has a nice size.

We roll up our sleeves to shape the urban design of the neighborhood and the subsequent design of the buildings. Of the approximately 400 homes, more than 100 are intended for social rent, and another 80 for mid-priced rent. The remaining homes are intended for sale in the mid-priced and free segment.”

“We are pleased with the deal,” said Amphia board member Ivo Vergouwen. “This is a milestone, good for us and good for Oosterhout.” Dirk Adriaanse, Associate Director at Capital Value: “The former Amphia hospital site is in an excellent location near the center of Oosterhout, which lends itself well to housing development. The sale of the plot by Amphia to NBU offers a great opportunity to give the location a new, future-proof purpose.”
