Lansingerland and Zoetermeer opt for living and working at Bleizo-West

The municipalities of Lansingerland and Zoetermeer will continue to work on the development of the Bleizo-West area with the name PROEFtuin Bleizo. In October 2021, both municipal councils made a decision on living and working at Bleizo-West.

Bleizo-West concerns the still undeveloped area on both sides of the A12, near the Lansingerland-Zoetermeer station. There are plans to build 4,000 to 6,000 homes with a green appearance, combined with the arrival of companies and facilities. Innovation and knowledge development are central to the adjacent greenhouse horticulture area of the horti science in Lansingerland and the adjacent Dutch Innovation Park. Alderman Iedema: 'The arrival of PROEFtuin Bleizo creates a natural connection and a great opportunity for joint growth. In short: an attractive mix of living, working and facilities.'

In addition, the plan increases the opportunities for the so-called ZoRo line (RandstadRail connection between Zoetermeer and Rotterdam).

Housing supply

The amount of homes in the plan makes a nice contribution to reducing the housing shortage in the region. Furthermore, 50% of the housing supply consists of affordable rental and owner-occupied homes and 50% more expensive homes.

What next in 2022?

In the policy for the province, the location of Bleizo-West is still intended for companies. The province and the municipality of Lansingerland are also in talks about previous agreements for realizing wind energy.

On February 2, 2022, it was decided that the province, together with the municipalities of Lansingerland and Zoetermeer, will make agreements to arrive at a joint solution for the Bleizo-West location.
