Groep Caenen Capital Fund sells 130 homes in Amersfoort to Amvest
Hoefse Hout is a development by Groep Caenen Capital Fund, located on the De Hoef site in Amersfoort. The building was designed by FSD and includes 50 mid-rental homes, 80 free-market rental homes and 62 parking spaces in a semi-sunken parking garage. The apartments range from two to four rooms, with floor areas between 50 and 107 sq m. Lithos is responsible for the construction of the residential complex. The first pile was driven on 21 November, with completion scheduled for January 2028.
Large-scale area transformation Hoefkwartier
Hoefse Hout forms an essential part of the large-scale area transformation of the former business park De Hoef-West. Hoefkwartier is a new urban district in Amersfoort, located just a 10-minute bike ride from the city centre, adjacent to the green Waterwingebied and within walking distance of Amersfoort Schothorst railway station. Approximately 3,000 homes will be developed in the coming years, along with various daily amenities that enhance the liveability of the area. This urban development encourages walking, cycling and electric shared mobility, thereby reducing the CO₂ footprint. The installation of solar panels on the roof of the building also contributes to this objective.
Gijs Keizer, Adviser Transactions at Capital Value:
“Hoefse Hout is a major addition to Amersfoort. Thanks to its new-build quality and the mix of affordable and free-market rental housing, it represents an attractive and sustainable investment. Although investments in new-build developments lagged behind in the first half of the year, we are seeing an increase in transaction volume in the second half. We expect this positive trend to continue into 2026. We congratulate Amvest and Groep Caenen Capital Fund on this successful transaction.”
