How does a WKO system work?

Your home will be connected to a central WKO system. This system consists of a cold and warm source deep in the ground. In the summer, the building and your home are cooled with cold from the cold source, while the heated groundwater is infiltrated into the warm source. In the winter, the direction of flow is reversed, and heat is extracted from the warm source.

Construction process and schedule

This section provides insight into the construction process, the schedule, and the expected completion dates.

When does the construction start?

Construction started in mid-October 2024 with the demolition of the old V&D building. After demolition, piling will take place, the sources for the Heat and Cold Storage (WKO) will be drilled, and the basement and ground floor will be constructed. This will occur simultaneously with the construction of the adjacent Groosman tower (rental apartments).

When does construction start for a buyer?

Construction for buyers is expected to continue by the end of 2025, once 70% of the units are sold. This will involve the construction of the remaining residential floors of the approximately 70-meter-high tower.

How long will the construction take?

Since construction has already started, the construction time is significantly shortened compared to similar new build projects. This is beneficial for you as a consumer, as it reduces financing costs. The construction time from the first floor is approximately 16 months. The expected start of delivery for the homes is before the summer of 2027.
