Real estate investor Altera Vastgoed NV (hereinafter: Altera) and V.o.f. Spoorlaan, a partnership between CRA Vastgoed and Novaform, have reached an agreement concerning the realisation of 70 new-build apartments on Spoorlaan, in the heart of Tilburg. The 70 apartments are part of a 24-storey residential tower to be constructed at the historic location of the Van Mierlo & Zoon bank building.
The rental units are two-room and three-room apartments, distributed across floors 2–11.

The project will meet high sustainability requirements, and will be equipped with features including a thermal energy storage facility, a WTW ventilation system with heat recovery, and solar panels. In terms of mobility, the sustainable design will be enhanced by a spacious collective bicycle storage area and shared electric cars.
