OVERVIEW
The special industrial atmosphere, imposing buildings and the location - close to the historic city center of Leiden - make De Meelfabriek an unique place. We are going to fill this former industrial building with features and buildings that are slightly different. No ordinary apartments but lofts, no big stores, but specialty shops. The master plan for the new Meelfabriek is extensive and covers no less than approximately 45.000 m² of floor space. Old industrial buildings are being revived and new buildings are added.

The first phase started at the end of 2016: new-build apartments for so-called Young Professionals. The industrial lofts in the former Molengebouw and Riffellokaal are currently being realized and are ready for occupation in the second half of 2019. In the plinth of these old factory buildings there will be special shops and galleries. In the summer of 2018 the construction of the 3-level underground parking garage will start. The parking garage will provide the total parking needs of the users and visitors of De Meelfabriek. In this way the terrain remains car-free and there is room for a beautiful square and lots of greenery. De Sinteltoren is on top of the parking garage. Housing apartments will be built in De Singeltoren.
