Celebratory start of construction for Kruisdijkpark phase 1
The construction of phase 1 within the Kruisdijkpark project in Poortugaal has officially begun. This special moment was celebrated on Thursday, March 12, at the construction site. During the event, Alderman Pieter Kos, together with future residents, performed the symbolic groundbreaking by pouring the final joint of the hollow-core slab.
“There is a significant housing shortage. We are therefore pleased that with the start of Kruisdijkpark, another step is being taken to add new homes in Poortugaal. At the same time, this will create a green and pleasant living environment for future residents,” said Alderman Kos.
Phase 1 marks the first step in the development of Kruisdijkpark: a sustainable, park-like residential area along the Kruisdijk in Poortugaal. The project, which consists of a total of 103 apartments, was developed by Kavel Vastgoed, and construction is being carried out by construction company VAN MIERLO from Maasdijk.
Green spaces, water, and play areas
The surrounding environment plays a key role in the design. The location is characterized by its green surroundings. Between the buildings, five green spaces will be created, each with its own unique features, such as an orchard and play facilities. These areas will be connected by walking paths. The resulting park-like landscape invites residents to meet, relax, play, and experience the changing seasons.
