Breskens Waterfront Development

The Waterfront Development Project at Breskens consists of an extension of the existing marina up to 600 berths and the construction of 230 apartments, a parking garage and shopping facilities on a land reclamation in the Western Scheldt.

The stability of the sea defence in view of the morphological development of the channel system of the Western Scheldt and the reduction of the wave climate in the marina because of overtopping of the existing breakwater were topics in the design process.

Also the approval process of the apartment buildings in relation to the national policy on housing projects outside the official sea defence and on collision risks by passing vessels was an important aspect of this project.
