Update:<\/strong> On Thursday, the City Council unanimously agreed to the plan to realise student houses on the site, states D66. Whether there will be more than 600 student houses is still unclear. D66 does hold that 600 is the minimum number they want to see build.<\/p>\n

A developer has started working on a building plan. To make the project profitable, senior citizens’ homes and family homes will also be built at the Brainpark, in addition to the cheaper student homes.<\/p>\n

The shortage of student accommodation has been rising for years<\/a>. The number of students in Rotterdam is growing every year<\/a> and is expected to continue in the coming years<\/a>. 86 percent of student accommodation in Rotterdam is too expensive<\/a>. In short: the demand for affordable student accommodation is huge and growing.<\/p>\n

The municipality of Rotterdam is proposing turning Brainpark I business park into a residential area. Some of the offices will remain, while other buildings will be converted into residences. According to the plan, 2,500 to 3,000 homes could be built, including six hundred student houses. Brainpark I is the part situated opposite Erasmus University, just on the other side of Kralingse Zoom. On Thursday evening, the municipal council will vote on the proposal.<\/p>\n
