Shopping Centre Vleuterweide is a new, open-air shopping centre that includes 51 small and large retailers, bars and restaurants. The centre area is a unique concept that stands out thanks to the authentic urban development structure and striking architecture, using traditional Dutch gables reminiscent of canal houses. The centre showcases an interplay of squares and streets and large and small buildings that alternate harmoniously. Together, with optimally designed exterior spaces, these elements combine to create unique public spaces. The centre’s waterfront location enhances its appeal, making it more than just shopping, but a destination as well.
