In an attempt to make the city centre more attractive and economically strong, the muncipality of Tilburg decided to upgrade their city centre. The redevelopment of the Pieter Vreedeplein contains shops, residences, catering, recreation facilities (i.a. a cinema) and an underground parking garage. Two medium high apartment buildings have been built at the edge of the Stads Centrum Passage and in the Telegraafstraat. The design for structures around the Pieter Vreedeplein was made by the Spanish architects of Bonelli i Gill, Barcelona. Bedaux de Brouwer Architecten also takes responsibility for a part of the design, being the residences and the exclusive apartments in the IJzerstraat. Bedaux de Brouwer also plays a role in the design for the medium high residential building.

The underground (parking)stories (-1, -2, -3) have been executed according to the so-called Top-Down method. Using this method enables building upwards and downwards at the same time which generates savings in construction time.
