VanWonen and Mecanoo
Knoop XL, the station location at the northern side, is growing into a vibrant place where living, working, travelling and meeting come together. With The Four, VanWonen is getting the ball rolling as the first party in this area development. The Four will be an elegant 33-storey residential tower with 306 apartments in a range of sizes and price categories. The Four offers living in a prime location in Eindhoven with fantastic views over the city’s skyline. Within walking distance of the city centre, next to the station, with everything within easy reach.

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.
