Lidl en Metropool Development: leading the way in area development. Ready for the challenges of the coming decades! Lidl looks beyond tomorrow’s agenda and proactively anticipates the complex challenges of a growing city.
Whether it involves groundbreaking projects in urban areas or delivering high-quality live-work-shop concepts in healthy, vibrant neighbourhoods: we create places where living, working and shopping come together seamlessly.
In doing so, we explicitly look beyond single-use real estate. What added value does a multidisciplinary approach bring? We would be happy to discuss this with you.

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.
