Construction update Couchette Grunobuurt
On the former NELF site in Groningen, Couchette is taking shape – the eighth residential building in the Grunobuurt, designed within the urban plan by De Zwarte Hond. The building will soon provide 109 social and mid-range rental apartments, as well as a shared parking facility that will also be used by residents of the Regulateur and Tender.
What makes Couchette special is the choice for a timber structure. By building with CLT (cross-laminated timber), we significantly reduce CO₂ emissions compared to traditional concrete construction – a sustainable step forward.
Together with our partners Nijestee and Trebbe, we are working towards completion in the summer of 2026.
