FAQ
Questions about Saenwerk.
What is Saenwerk?

Where will Saenwerk be?
In Zaandam, in the Zaanstad municipality of Noord-Holland. We're looking for a building in central Zaandam, close to Zaandam station. The exact address will be shared with the waiting list first.
When does Saenwerk open?
The opening date isn't set yet. It depends on securing the building. Everyone on the waiting list hears first, and founding members get first choice of desks and offices.

Prices will be announced to the waiting list once the building is secured. Founding members get a founding rate that is fixed for their first year.
How do I get there from Amsterdam or Schiphol?

Does joining the waiting list commit me to anything?
No. Signing up is free and without obligation. When reservations open, founding members will be invited to reserve their space with a refundable deposit, held by a Dutch notary and credited against their rent.

Until 2 January 2027. Everyone who joins the waiting list before then is invited as a founding member when reservations open. After that the waiting list stays open, but without the founding benefits.
