Provast develops 300 apartments in the city center of Helmond
On Wednesday June 18th Provast and ARC Real Estate Partners signed a Heads of Terms agreement with the municipality of Helmond for the development of approximately 300 apartments at the Piet Blomplein in Helmond.
The project encompasses 25,000 sqm GFA and consists of three residential buildings with a commercial plinth, which will be constructed above the underground extension of the Elzas parking garage and the Elzaspassage shopping center.
This iconic ensemble, designed by architect TconcepT, blends seamlessly into its surroundings and is characterized by a contemporary reinterpretation of the adjacent Kubuswoningen by Piet Blom. The future proof development meets the highest sustainability standards, including the installation of solar panels and connection to the municipal heating and cooling network.
The residential program includes a diverse mix of housing types, comprising both social and free market lease and sale units — addressing the broad housing demand in the Brainport region.
Construction is scheduled to commence by mid-2027, with completion expected by the end of 2028.
Provast was advised by Loyens & Loeff, while ARC Real Estate Partners received legal counsel from CMS.

Provast wins tender for Amsterdam Muyskenkwartier with innovative housing concept ‘Hoeksteen
The 'Hoeksteen' project comprises 21,000 m² GFA above ground, including 210 homes in the social, mid-rental, and free sector purchase segments. The plan distinguishes itself with a strong vision for sustainable and socially urban living. Located within the ring of Amsterdam, Hoeksteen adds a residential layer to this multifunctional area, with a nod to the expressive Amsterdam School. Hoeksteen is designed to retain families in Amsterdam, featuring diverse housing typologies and a flexible layout that moves away from the standard concrete floor plan. The collective inner garden is formed around three mature trees that provide shelter, cooling, and a green experience from day one. A powerful gesture in the dense city. Thanks to the wooden column construction and biobased materials, the CO₂ footprint is minimal. The flexibility of the column construction makes the building future-proof, as it can adapt to changing housing needs and functions. Construction is planned to start in mid-2026, with expected completion in 2028. Provast has worked on the submission with the team Studioninedots, ZUS, Buro Happold, Skonk, and Stipo.
