12-18 June: watch as Ravellaan artwork is created

The brand-new Maurice Ravellaan, the avenue that forms the entrance to the new Ravel residential district currently under development, was opened at the start of this year. Totalling 40 m in length and leading off Gustav Mahlerlaan, the avenue forms the access road to Goed Genoeg Sports Park (where AFC play). On the south side of the street, a long section of construction hoardings separates the avenue from the low-traffic Ravel residential district that is being developed. Between 12 and 18 June, nine artists from the Netherlands and abroad will decorate the bare construction hoardings with nine different murals on wooden panels. You can come and take a look as they do that at any time during that week or even take part in the (free) Street Art guided tour that we are organising.

In the future Ravel residential district, we are building 1,350 homes in the years ahead, mainly for families. Of these homes, 40% will be social rented, another 40% mid-market rented and 20% owner-occupied properties. The neighbourhood is being developed in the area between the AFC football pitches and De Boelelaan. On the south side, alongside De Boelegracht, work started in March 2024 on the construction of the new Kindercampus Zuidas, and in June 2024 on the Ravelly housing block, which will include 75 social rented homes.
