Sketch design shows first rendering of new Market
The Eindhoven city council has agreed to the sketch design for the redevelopment of the Market. It is the first step in the design process to transform the stony and outdated square in the heart of the city into a more attractive place. This year, the design will be further elaborated. The aim is to start the implementation in the first quarter of 2028. That will be the final phase of the redevelopment of the streets with the red cobblestones in the city center. Currently, work is being carried out on the Demer. Next in line are Vrijstraat, Marktstraat, Nieuwstraat, and Hermanus Boexstraat.
The sketch design focuses on a lively square, with a balance between terraces, greenery, and (more) public seating areas. The design for the new Market caters to visitors of all ages: for those who want to sit on a terrace, but also for those who want to take a break on a bench overlooking the square.
