The Oranje Nassau Kades area is located close to the city center and along the banks of the Hollandse IJssel. It comprised former industrial sites and the municipal yard, which were excellently suited for the development of a high-quality residential and living environment. In the urban layout, explicit connection was sought with the atmosphere of the old city center and with the industrial heritage of the area.
