Haagse Poort

Haagse Poort is a modern office building in The Hague that stretches across the Utrechtsebaan, connecting two different sections of the structure. The taller portion contains 17 floors, while the lower section is linked by an arch at the eighth floor level.

The building was created between 1990 and 1994 as part of The Hague's effort to expand its business district. ING Real Estate developed it to strengthen the city center as an economic hub.

The building reflects how Dutch companies in the 1990s thought about office design, with its mixed layout of tall and low sections. It shows an approach where work spaces and public passages were meant to coexist in the same structure.

The building offers easy access to public transportation and sits near shops, restaurants, and services. You can explore the surrounding areas on foot and move through the open spaces without difficulty.

The structure spans over the busy Utrechtsebaan road like a gateway, creating a distinctive silhouette visible from many angles. This placement over a major traffic route makes it an easy landmark to spot when moving through the city.
