Mayor of Bruges Dirk De Fauw (CD&V) emphasizes the importance of the project for the city. “The former Veemarkt is not just a new residential area, but a lively city village where architecture, sustainability and liveability come together. The combination of an impressive underground infrastructure with a beautiful park makes this project unique. This makes Bruges an important step towards a sustainable and innovative future.”
According to the project developer, the BULA project is also the largest geothermal project ever in Belgium. The geometric heating system uses geothermal heat for heating the buildings in the winter and cooling in the summer.
