Description
Loovelden will be a large newly developed district with village-like appeal, with an abundance of green space and relatively large plots of land. The area to be developed, which is adjacent to the historic city centre of Huissen, in the municipality of Lingerwaard, will enable relocation of the glass culture. Some 15 hectares of greenhouses received a new location in this ambitious project, developed entirely at the expense and risk of Bouwfonds. Although the development is complex and risky, Bouwfonds sees considerable potential in this location, which is quite close to both the facilities of the historic buildings and the agricultural area. The district will consist of four parts, including an island completely surrounded by water. There will be spacious lots interspersed with intimate residential neighbourhoods. A 10-hectare recreational park, which borders the agricultural area, will determine the character of the district. Moreover, this 'red and green instead of glass' development will make it possible to concentrate glass culture in the region.
