Housing development projects in NL and BE

Overview

In late July 2026, construction began on the Veilingkwartier district in Tiel, the Netherlands, targeting about 325 new homes, while preparatory work started on the Kalvenne residential project in Tremelo, Belgium, planning a low‑car neighbourhood with extensive public green space.

A week later, the Netherlands highlighted further urban growth: a new website, Blauwestad.nu, documented the transformation of the former village of Blauwestad into a residential area, and the municipality of Zoetermeer selected developer Blauwhoed to build 235 mixed‑use homes at the Markt 10 and Frankrijklaan sites, featuring flexible apartments and shared rooftop gardens.

Together, these updates illustrate a broader push across the Netherlands and neighboring Belgium to expand housing stock, integrate green spaces, and promote community‑focused urban design.
