MAB sinks the final pile for units in the Resident
The Hague, Tuesday 12 September 2000 – Today at 3.30 p.m., the final pile will be sunk for the 62 residential units in de Resident. This concerns the Novelle (8 units), Mythos (18 units), Aubade (18 units) and Parabel (18 units) buildings situated in the new ‘Calliopestraat’.
De Resident houses a total of 315 flats, 106 of which have been sold to AZL, and 209 owner-occupied units, 176 of which have already been sold. The first properties were completed at the beginning of June. Construction on the last phase of 62 units has commenced, most of which have been sold or placed under option. Their sale is being handled by Jacobus Recourt and Frisia en Voorhout Makelaardij. Completion is planned for mid 2002.
Novelle and Mythos
Novelle and Mythos are located near the horseshoe-shaped Muzenplein with
its typical Italian atmosphere. Judging by their architecture and situation,
Novelle and Mythos are perfectly matched. This has partly to do with
the charming bow windows on their corners and the shops on the ground
floor. The architect is Gunnar Daan who hails from Oosternijkerk.
Aubade and Parabel
Aubade and Parabel consist of five floors and a total of 18 residential
units each.
The buildings have several similarities in their use of materials: covered
balconies, the rhythm of the staggered façades, the handsome warm
orange and red tints of their brickwork and the anthracite-coloured plinths.
The ground floor connects to the courtyard. The architect is Thon Karelse.
De Resident
The multifunctional ‘de Resident’ project covers the area
between Fluwelen Burgwal, Herengracht and Turfmarkt. De Resident, a city
within a city, forms a bridge between the low-rise buildings of the old
city centre and the large-scale office buildings within the vicinity
of The Hague’s Central Station. ‘De Resident’ is a
development of MAB and Bouwfonds Financiering Vastgoed.
In mid-2002, ‘de Resident’ will consist of 115,000 m² of
offices, 315 residential units, 4,500 m² of shops and 800 covered
parking spaces divided between three car parks (the Zurich car park is
not open to the public).
MAB
MAB is an independent, integrated property company with offices in the
Netherlands, Germany, France, the UK and Belgium. The company is engaged
at its own account and risk in the development, management and purchase/sale
of property. Since its foundation in 1970, MAB has specialised in the
development of major spatial planning processes in predominantly complicated
inner city situations.

Resident’s’ project financier, is an operating company of
Bouwfonds Hoevelaken. This enterprise is active in three property market
