Property market and the crisis

10 september 2014

The crisis has led to a new approach on property development in the Spoorzone and a new plan for the area development. Old approach:

• project developers search interested buyers for their plans

New approach:

• interested buyers are contacted and plans are made according to

their needs or wishes

• Project organisation is the link between buyers and developers
• possibilities for private building development or (small) collective

development with aid from the project organisation New plan for the property development by Palmbout urban landscapes

Environmental goals

10 september 2014

The goals for Spoorzone:

• Spoorzone as an example for sustainable building in the

Netherlands and abroad

• an area with room for water and green spaces
• maximum reduction of water use
• maximum use of renewable energy
• Breeam-NL score excellent for the development area

24

Horizon 2020

10 september 2014

Possible proposal Spoorzone:

• new sanitation

Closed circuits lead to a sustainable use of resources and

• energy. The development of new sanitation aims to reduce

waste water, collect waste streams separately and purify waste water decentralized in the area.

• geothermal heat distribution

An innovative system for collective use of thermal earth heat from the TU area. Low temperature heating systems with use of floor heating

• house of sustainable mobility

Proposal in May 2014
