Cordeel starts renovation of ‘Residentiewijk’

A foundation ceremony on Tuesday, 30 April marked the official kick-off of renovation works to the iconic residential area on the Boeretang in Mol. The 323 housing units in the modernist 1950s neighbourhood are to be thoroughly refurbished.

Cordeel entered into a public-private partnership with the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN) and the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) and is responsible for the project. The initiative is supported by the Flemish Department of Environment and the Flanders Heritage Agency. Some 190 housing units will be thoroughly renovated in the first phase.

In addition to renewing the local infrastructure and surroundings as well as mains pipes, a new heat network will be constructed. Under the DBFM contract concluded with SCK and VITO, Cordeel will also be responsible for maintenance of the public domain and several important buildings for a period of 25 years.
