Urban development and renovation projects have commenced across several Dutch cities. In Amsterdam, construction has started on the Eleven Square project in Zuidoost, which includes 1,120 homes and significant office space. Additionally, a tender was launched for the Kenniskwartier district to develop residential and commercial buildings featuring social rental housing.

In Apeldoorn, renovation of a former HEMA building has begun as part of the Stadspark Oranjerie redevelopment, which intends to create a new district with 450 homes and a green city park. Meanwhile, in Almelo, the Council of State ruled in favor of allowing a Hornbach hardware store to establish a location, ending a 15 year dispute with local residents and competitors.
