Crevas building in Hart Van De Waalsprong
The Crevas building, designed by Monadnock architects, is situated on the corner of Graaf Alardsingel and Theo Dobbestraat and marks the entrance to the new city centre (the heart of the new town) in a very special way. A red heart has been incorporated into the light-coloured brick façade. At this specific location, the route to all the shops, homes and amenities (and parking facilities) will also be marked. The building has five floors, each with six apartments, on top of a commercial plinth on the ground floor where providers of health care services and sports facilities will be located.

“The Crevas building is one of the three blocks, with a total of 119 very energy-efficient apartments, in Hart van de Waalsprong that we can add to the investment portfolio of our client, PME pension fund. With these sustainable homes, we will make many people who are looking for a home happy: families, first-time home buyers, students, elderly people, and people with special housing needs. These homes are also a valuable investment for participants in the pension fund,” says Olaf Bakkers, Regional Manager Acquisition South-East at Syntrus Achmea.

“Now that the Crevas block has reached its highest point, Hart van de Waalsprong is really beginning to take shape. We are proud of the varied and complete programme we are offering here with a very differentiated range of owner-occupied houses and apartments, 119 private rental sector homes and 101 social homes,” says René Steman, VanWonen project director for Hart van de Waalsprong.
