BORDEAUX, FRANCE–The Urban Community of Bordeaux (CUB) has commissioned Dutch architectural practice MVRDV to develop a masterplan for a 35 hectare stretch of unused industrial and military grounds on the bank of the Garonne river for an urban program of up to 3.2 million square feet.

ZAC Bastide-Niel will be the most significant urban project in Bordeaux in coming years and aims to extend the centre over the river. MVRDV’s analysis identified potential to build a neighborhood to reconnect with the river in a new urban style with increased ecological efficiency. “We chose MVRDV because of its sensitive reading of the possibilities of the site. Bordeaux will extend its centre with an excellent new urban quarter which will be an innovative, social and sustainable example,” said CUB President Vincent Feltesse.
