Multi Vastgoed bv is developing an innovative project in Almere Buiten consisting of shops, rented and owner-occupied houses and parking facilities
This project is part of the total Development Plan of the Municipality of Almere for the shopping centre in Almere Buiten. Following completion, Almere Buiten will dispose of shopping facilities in proportion to the number of residents in this district, which number has risen substantially in the past years.
The south section of the existing shopping centre is owned by Rodamco Europe and currently comprises 7,700 m2 gross retail area. The expansion and redevelopment will result in a gross retail area of 18,000 m2. Important elements in the project are the relocation and conversion of the formula of the existing Albert Heijn supermarket into a renewed Lidl, meeting the expansion needs of current lessees and adding missing branches.
According to the current planning, construction is scheduled to commence in the middle of 2007 and will take place in two phases. The new construction (phase 1) is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2008. The redevelopments around Globeplein (phase 2) are expected to be completed early 2010.
Approximately 160 houses, around 90 owner-occupied and 70 rented, will be built above the shops. Approximately 1100 municipal parking spaces will be constructed around the shopping centre. Paid parking will be introduced in due course. The expansion, including the redevelopment of the south section, represents an investment value of approximately € 56 million.
T+T Design provided the basis for the draft plan.
S333 architects from Amsterdam are responsible for the design of the new construction. Nielsen, Nielsen & Nielsen from Arhus, a firm of architects in Denmark, is responsible for the redevelopment around Globeplein.
