Het Trega-Zinkwitterrein biedt de kans om een new, green and climate-resilient urban district to develop. Through a carefully designed green-blue layout, biodiversity is not only encouraged, but also the wellbeing of future residents. The district will be a place for people to come together and take part in shared activities, with attention to social cohesion and liveability.
Location
The site is located in the Limmel district, on the banks of the Meuse and within walking distance of Maastricht’s historic city centre. The location is close to the A2, Maastricht Central Station and Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus. The area offers views over the Meuse valley and nature areas in the immediate vicinity.
Development frameworks
The area development is about thinking and building in new ways. Work is being done together to create an urban district that is not only physically green, but also makes room for social connectedness, links and meeting places. Sustainability is not an ambition, but an obvious starting point. In addition, mobility is handled smartly, with everything within easy reach and the public realm designed to be high-quality and liveable.

Not a man of one company, but a man of movements. His strength? Not shouting from the sidelines, but starting new companies himself that set the market in motion and challenge existing systems. That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'

For three days, the real estate sector stood shoulder to shoulder at RAI Amsterdam. With a record number of visitors, a packed programme and plenty of energy, PROVADA 2026 was an edition to remember. Below, we look back at the highlights — and at the end you'll find the photos and aftermovie to relive it all.

At PROVADA 2026, the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 was presented to Michel Baars. The award is presented annually to an individual who realises sustainable change within the built environment through vision, courage and decisiveness. This year's presentation marks the award's fifth edition.
