Eindhoven Airport District

In 2040, the Eindhoven Airport District will be a well-known and established name in the Brainport region. The Eindhoven Airport District distinguishes itself by offering favorable conditions for businesses and aviation-related innovation. The area includes an innovative, sustainable, and regionally-focused Eindhoven Airport that implements innovations and technological advancements such as electric flying. This makes the Eindhoven Airport District the international gateway to Brainport. The World Trade Center, the multifunctional Flight Forum office cluster, the international defense organizations, the airport, and its facilities are also powerful attractors for international companies.

The Eindhoven Airport District will become a lively work location with an attractive living environment. The roads, streets, and other public spaces between the buildings will be green and sustainable. There will be space for terraces and shared business gardens. The design of the area will be adapted to the changing climate. In the future, employees and visitors can walk, exercise, and have lunch in green spaces within the area.

The heart of the Eindhoven Airport District is formed by the area between the terminal of Eindhoven Airport and the office cluster of Flight Forum. The Luchthavenweg will become vibrant, with shops and restaurants opening up. A World Trade Center and many international companies will be located near the terminal. Entrepreneurs will develop targeted facilities, including sports facilities, meeting locations, and events that meet the needs of established companies, (temporary) residents, and travelers.

Eindhoven Airport District will become even more accessible and easy to find in the future due to a new simple road structure. A large part of the car and freight traffic will be diverted to the edges of Eindhoven Airport District. This will create more green space and beautiful, safe bike and walking routes.

Airport parking is concentrated along the Airport Boulevard and is increasingly used for other types of parking. Travelers who are flying park at the airport. On the Eindhoven Airport business park, parking is done on private property, and new developments will have collective parking facilities.

The pedestrian boulevard determines the image on Luchthavenweg and is mainly used by High-Quality Public Transport (HOV) and slow traffic. The car is a guest here.

With the arrival of the third High-Quality Public Transport line, the Brainportlijn, and slow traffic routes, many employees and travelers will use public transport or bicycles to reach Eindhoven Airport District. Companies will make use of emission-free (shared) mobility, and electric charging stations will be available everywhere. When possible, travelers and destination traffic will use shared transportation from regional pick-up points outside the area. Freight transportation will also be emission-free.

All necessary heat and electricity in the area is locally generated. Roofs, facades, and infrastructure are used for energy generation (such as solar panels and smart roads). Companies have invested in energy efficiency, generation, storage, and exchange with each other.

There is more greenery and less pavement in the public space. The new design prevents the area from becoming too hot in the summer and ensures that a large amount of water is effectively drained during heavy rainfall. Roofs, facades, and infrastructure are utilized for adding greenery and water storage. The area has a much greater biodiversity and is connected to the surrounding landscape.

New buildings are flexible in their layout and can be adapted to changing user needs. New buildings and infrastructure are constructed according to circular principles: as many reusable materials as possible are used and finite resources are used as little as possible. In order to minimize the impact on the environment and living environment, companies in the area and Brainport Eindhoven work together where possible.

The initiators of Eindhoven Airport District organize collaboration projects for the active community in the Eindhoven Airport District. Organizations, owners, entrepreneurs, and users work together to realize the area’s vision and further develop the area. Companies in the area feel connected to each other and are proud of the area in which they collectively invest.
