Van Gogh Square redevelopment

The municipality will redevelop Vincent van Gogh Square. This is being done as part of the housing offensive, which focuses on building good housing. These homes must contribute to a pleasant living environment. This is the starting point for the plans that will be implemented in the coming years.

Why is Vincent van Goghplein being redeveloped?
Research shows that Vincent van Goghplein is a suitable site for new construction. The old school building is no longer used as a school and renovation is needed. The Board of B&W has decided to make preparations for the construction of new housing at this location.

Current users of the building
The old school building is currently used by several associations, including scouting Gregor Brokamp, Sportfondsen Kerkrade and stichting de Spiegel. The municipality is in talks with them to find a suitable new location.

New construction plans
The Vincent van Gogh Square will feature different types of housing, such as social rental housing, mid-rent and affordable owner-occupied housing. Preparations for this redevelopment are underway.
