At the beginning of this year, Hocras owner Hans van der Eijk sold a large part of the site on the French Kampweg to real estate company Pinnacle, from, among others, Prince Bernhard Junior. The company paid 5.65 million euros for more than 8,300 square meters of land. This is the site of the current hardware store, right next to the intended shelter for 300 refugees. That site is still from Van der Eijk
The timeline of the Gronddeal in particular is striking. Eight days after the sale, on Friday 7 February, the municipality of Gooise Meren agrees with the asylum shelter on the Bussum site. On that day, the embargo for all parties is running. The collection plans were already on the table in December, according to documents from the city council that contains confidentiality that are in the hands of NH. However, all parties were not allowed to speak about it until Friday. This also applied to Van der Eijk, who as the owner is aware of the reception plans from the start.
The question is whether the new owner of the piece of land was also aware of the arrival of the refugees. That plan could lead to value reduction of the land.
NH has approached both seller Hans van der Eijk and Koper Pinnacle BV several times by telephone to get an answer, but both parties have not responded to contact requests.
Million attached on property ownership
The fact is that four days after the news about the arrival of the refugees, Pinnacle had millions of conservatory seizures made on the property of Hans van der Eijk, according to data from the Land Registry.
It concerns plots, buildings and the house of Van der Eijk. His home has been for sale for a few months for just under 5 million euros.
