Since the beginning of this week there have been two large cranes at the TD [Technical Services] building in Eindhoven. The façade is stripped to make room for new balconies. The ash-grey plates on the outside of the TD building make way for lighter, wavy balconies. This transformation from ugly duckling to beautiful swan will take shape in the next six months. Demolition company Heezen started this noticeable work this week. Two large cranes will help this process over the coming months.

Rental apartments
About 160 high-end rental apartments of varying sizes will be built in the former Technical Service’s office building. Foolen & Reijs Vastgoed won the Amvest commission and bought the premises for 7 million euro from the city of Eindhoven. The ground floor will feature some facilities for both residents and visitors of the park: food and drink establishments with a terrace, a gym and physiotherapy.

The plan of architect firm diederendirrix has now been approved by the Environmental Quality commission. At the request of the city of Eindhoven and the neighbourhood, a fourth wing (in which also a supermarket was planned) to expand the premises will not be built, nor will there be more floors to elevate the building. Only the 10 metre high structure will be replaced by one floor of penthouses three metres high.
