In collaboration with Jongerius Invest BV, & Vastgoed, and the Municipality of Utrecht, the Galgenwaard area is on the brink of a new chapter. MVSA has been commissioned to design four towers for the stadium's corners. These towers will breathe new life to the stadium and groundbreaking new functionality: residential living. This pioneering intervention will position Galgenwaard as the first stadium globally to incorporate residential units on this significant scale.
Shaping the Future of Utrecht
As the fastest-growing city in the Netherlands, Utrecht faces increasing demand for housing, amenities, employment, green spaces, and sustainable energy. The Galgenwaard project is an ambitious response to these needs, transforming a previously isolated location into a modern, cohesive, and environmentally sustainable metropolitan area at Utrecht's edge. Following the recent completion of Wonderwoods in the city’s urban center, the Galgenwaard transformation reinforces MVSA's commitment to making Utrecht greener, more sustainable, and future-proof.
A Vision for Urban Redevelopment
The Galgenwaard redevelopment will transform the area into a vibrant green urban hub that harmoniously combines sports, health, work, and living. What is now a concrete dominated landscape, restricted to traffic and parking will become a green and accessible public space for leisure and social engagement. Designed to prioritize city and nature integration, the project is enhanced by lush vertical greenery on the towers and recreational spaces by the riverside. The redevelopment of Galgenwaard will make space for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, and rich native flora and fauna.
Residential Living in Galgenwaard
Galgenwaard Stadium is set to become the world's first stadium to offer residential units within its structure on this scale. This innovative approach will maintain the commercial and leisure spaces while introducing a whole new dimension—living spaces with unparalleled views. New commercial spaces will be added in each corner of the stadium, with the four new towers housing office and residential units.
Residents of these new towers will enjoy a unique vantage point, with sweeping views of Utrecht on one side and exclusive views of the stadium field on the other - delivering a 'skybox' experience from the comfort of their homes.
The Galgenwaard area will soon become a dynamic, multi-functional landmark—inviting residents, businesses, and visitors alike to experience a revitalized area that embodies the city's growth and sustainability goals. Stay tuned to see this incredible transformation take shape!
