NEW, LEIDEN, SHOPS, RESIDENCES

The former Kooiplein underwent a true metamorphosis. The public space was completely redesigned, and several streets were closed off from through traffic. Space was created for water among other things. A new parking garage was realised with around 3.200 m2 of shopping space on ground level. Besides the supermarket, there are also several new shopping units with a flowershop, bakery and horeca. On top of the shops residences have been built. On the other side of the Kooilaan there is another large supermarket. 
Because of the expansion in the number of shops, and the great parking facilities, Kooiplein is the lively centre of Leiden Noord. located along the Kooilaan as well as the Willem de Zwijgerlaan and because of the great connection to public transport, this shopping centre has great appeal.

The project was designed in BIM.
