A Quality Boost for Beneden-Leeuwen: From Industrial Site to Residential Area
In Beneden-Leeuwen , the former knitting factory at Bikkelen 36-38D Beneden-Leeuwen repurposed to include 5 apartments and 4 back-to-back houses. The plan enhances the area’s appeal and addresses the demand for affordable rental housing.

The "Bikkelen aan Bikkelen 36-38D" project in Beneden-Leeuwen repurpose a former knitting factory. The design consists of 5 apartments and 4 back-to-back homes in the mid-range rental segment. This will enhance the area’s appeal and address the demand for affordable rental housing. This development provides a clear boost to quality and contributes to a pleasant living environment. It aligns with the municipality’s ambitions to use space in a smart and sustainable way.
Alderman van den Boom: "The Bikkelen plan will give this aging site a new future. Homes will be added in the mid-range rental segment, for which there is high demand. This will also improve the quality of the surrounding area. It’s a great example of making smart use of existing space."
