The Heart of the Waalsprong is the amenities centre of the new residential area of Nijmegen north of the Waal, near Lent. It should become the missing link between Nijmegen North and the city centre and will include approximately 11,500 m2 of commercial space as well as 500 homes. The assignment consisted of giving the amenities centre the character of a ‘town’, including the accompanying pleasant atmosphere.De Zwarte Hond designed both the urban plan and the shopping area, along with the apartment blocks Donk and Elft delivered in phase 1. In phase 2 the Grutto apartment block was completed. In total, the project comprises 267 homes, of which 97 are social housing flats. A primary school with childcare facilities and a library is still under development. The landscape design is by De Urbanisten. The remaining housing was designed by architects LoD, Monadnock, Korth Tielens, and Atelier BRINK.
The central city square is the beating heart of the development. This is where you find the bigger shops and the food and drink offering. It’s the place for everyday and special events and a meeting place par excellence. The district is climate-adaptive. From the central city square, a green route with ‘wadi’ valley takes the visitor via squares and gardens to the River Waal, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The cyclist and pedestrian are central throughout the plan and there is a good connection to the public transport network. The architecture builds on the traditional brick architecture of Nijmegen.
