The overall vision for the Eilandje is formulated in the Eilandje Master Plan, a structural policy document which was approved by the city authorities in 2002. The redevelopment in the initial phase includes three sub-districts: the Old Docks, the Montevideo district and the Cadix district. The plans for the first two have been partly carried out and partly developed into concrete projects. The development of the Cadix district represents the final piece of the first phase of the Eilandje project.
In 2008, the Antwerp city authorities decided on how they would go about redeveloping the Cadix district, an old industrial dockland area, into a lively and sustainable urban neighbourhood. In doing so, they established the ambition to create spatial quality for the district with a focus on achieving a dynamic mixture of functions, a lively residential mix and a sufficiently broad range of facilities.
The city authorities’ ambition is to create a new central square in the district. This square is intended to form the heart of a district in full development.
The new district square will cover the area currently taken up by the Customs car park, the surrounding streets and the wide dockside of the Kattendijk Dock which is currently occupied by warehouses.
The strategy which must be pursued is that of the ‘village square’, whereby a central location is loaded with facilities which interact with the public space. This district square is to be a green, park-like and above all tranquil location which, in accordance with the vision of the Eilandje Master Plan, links the centre of the district with the dock. The aim is to extend the square up to the water’s edge taking account of the classified dockside.
In addition to the square, Napelsstraat is also included in the project. The design of this street has already been formulated, but in view of the desire to carry out both projects together and fully attune them to one another, the technical implementation plan and the eventual site coordination are included in the project as a second sub-project.
The client wishes to enter into a partnership with a team of experts that is able to unite the various aspects, both spatial quality and technical expertise, in an inspiring whole.
