Gare Maritime

Gare Maritime, once one of the largest railway stations in Europe, has been redeveloped. The idea is to create on the Tour&Taxis site a covered town with facilities for shopping, work, leisure, eating, drinking and so on. A place, where it is good to live, a pleasure to stroll. A unique project, a mixed-use development, incorporating the old and exhaling the new. The building will respect the surroundings, structure and logic of the historic hall, but will also strike with innovative solutions.

The transformation of the whole Tour & Taxis site is future-oriented not only because of the mixed-use of different buildings resulting in a complementary and intelligent use of space. Also, a lot of sustainable construction solutions were implemented that seek synergies between the different buildings on the site.

Bopro played a role in the transformation of this monumental depot and other buildings on the Tour & Taxis site. We were looking forward to what would become a lively covered town and we highly appreciated the heritage value of the building. During the transformation of this monumental depot Bopro safeguarded the safety during the construction process, was involved as a Project and Construction Manager on the site, assessed the sustainability of the building as an independent BREEAM expert and guided a stakeholder trajectory to create and implement a circular dynamic on the site.
