Winkelcentrum De Hoven Passage

Winkelcentrum De Hoven Passage, also known as winkelcentrum In de Hoven, is a covered shopping centre in Delft, Netherlands. It is located between the Poptahof and Voorhof districts in Delft Zuid, along the Martinus Nijhofflaan. The centre contains approximately 90 shops and offers a diverse retail mix including supermarkets, fashion, drugstores, food and drink outlets, bookstores, and personal care services. Construction began in 1967 by the contracting firm Van der Vorm, and the official opening took place on 30 October 1968. The first shops came from Delft city centre to the area behind the then-new Poptahof, at the corner of Papsouwselaan and Martinus Nijhofflaan. In 1975, the office tower Torenhove was built adjacent to the shopping centre. On 19 March 1987, De Hoven reopened after a renovation that added a roof over the entire shopping centre. A major renovation was completed in 2002, renewing the roof. The centre has been expanded over time. Since the construction of the Willem van Oranjetunnel in 2015, the shopping centre has been more accessible from Delft city centre. The area changed significantly in 2017 and 2018 when flats were built on both sides of the Martinus Nijhofflaan, but De Hoven Passage was spared. Torenhove became a residential tower and was renamed Delft Hoog in 2020. In 2018, the shopping centre celebrated its 50th anniversary with a pop-up museum featuring a timeline of photographs. Tram line 1 runs along the Martinus Nijhofflaan with a stop at Papsouwselaan. The shopping centre offers services such as electric car charging points, bicycle and scooter parking, public toilets, ATMs, package points, baby changing facilities, and family parking spaces. The first three hours of parking are free, offered by the retailers.
