Affordable Living Near Utrecht

Utrecht, a central hub in the Netherlands, attracts many due to its bustling nature and connectivity. Situated just south of Utrecht, Nieuwegein is ideal for those seeking proximity to the city without the high costs. Our goal was to develop a dense housing project that seamlessly connects with both the local environment and the vibrant center of Utrecht.

Enhancing Urban Living

The transformation of Nieuwegein’s Stationsgebied aims to create a vibrant, appealing, greener, and more sustainable city center. This initiative includes the development of a modern tram and bus interchange, complemented by residences and enhanced pedestrian and cycling pathways.

Green, Sustainable, and Innovative

The project upholds high standards of circular, nature-inclusive, and climate-adaptive construction. This commitment is evident in the design of public spaces, private rooftop gardens, and innovative water solutions. Green roofs facilitate water buffering and introduce timber-based structural elements. Despite the high-density construction, the building increases greenery in the area by an impressive 75%, thanks to its green facades, rooftop gardens, inner courtyard, and ground-level greenery.

Revitalizing Nieuwegein’s Stationsgebied

The rejuvenation of Nieuwegein’s Stationsgebied is underway, with the west side now taking the spotlight following the successful development of the east side. This earlier development introduced the modern Cityplaza shopping center, residences, and the new city hall. 

The west side revitalization, featuring The New Citizen, prioritizes green spaces, contributing to a 75% increase in greenery. Its central location, both within Nieuwegein and in the heart of the Netherlands, further enhances its appeal.
