Haagsche Zwaan is an office building on Schenkkade 50 in The Hague. The building is 73.5 meters high and was designed at Studio VollaersZwart[1] by architects ZZDP developed by OVG. The design looks like a swan, that is where the name Haagsche Zwaan comes from. The building is cantilevered 12 meters over the Utrechtsebaan, the gateway to The Hague. [2]

Haagsche Zwaan has 20 floors[3] and it is used for office space. Deloitte and Q8 are headquartered in Haagsche Zwaan. The building has an area of 18.000 m².[4] The owner of the Haagsche Zwaan is Union Investment Real Estate GmbH[5][6] and the administrator is Savills.

History

[edit]

The design for the building was created by ZZDP Architechen of Amsterdam.[7] The company OVG began work on its construction in 2007.[3] Buildings previously on the site were demolished. Because of its location near a busy highway, extra-thick glass was used.[8]

The building was completed in August, 2010,[6] ready for its main tenant Deloitte.

In 2011 Kuwait Petroleum established an office in the building.[9]

In 2014 an art installation "Prima Ballerina" was installed on the facade of the building.[10]

In 2015 the ICT company Cerner Benelux has offices in the building.[11]
