The development of a new urban district along Dorpsstraat is set to transform the local landscape, with a focus on blending living, working, and leisure spaces naturally. On 2025-06-16 22:14:00, city officials from Damme and the West-Vlaamse Intercommunale (WVI) unveiled detailed plans for this exciting project.
- Nine candidates competed for project development
- Jury selected Ciril and Brocap developers
- Plans unveiled with Damme city and WVI
- New district integrates living, working, relaxing
- Kwartier 51 offers 225 diverse homes

Out of nine initial candidates, three project developers remained in contention before a jury selected Ciril and Brocap to bring the vision to life. This new neighbourhood, named Kwartier 51, promises to offer a diverse living environment tailored to various ages and family structures.
How will this development impact the community, and what makes it stand out from other urban projects? Let’s explore the key details shaping Kwartier 51’s future.
What sets Kwartier 51 apart is its integrated approach to urban life. Instead of separating residential and commercial areas, the project fosters a seamless interaction between living, working, and social activities. This raises important questions: Can such a mixed-use neighbourhood improve quality of life? Will it attract new residents and businesses to Damme?
- 225 housing units designed for singles, starters, and large families
- Space allocated for local enterprises and community facilities
- Inclusion of a youth stay centre and an event hall for social engagement
- Collaboration between city authorities and regional partners ensures sustainable development
As Kwartier 51 moves from planning to construction, residents and investors alike should watch closely. Could this be the model for future Belgian neighbourhoods? Stay informed and get involved as Damme shapes a vibrant community for tomorrow.
