Project Id	3355
Project Name	Meelfabriek Leiden, Netherlands
Description	The Meelfabriek is an industrial complex of several large buildings that produced flour from different types of grain, brought in by boats on the canal. The flour factory was one of the largest in the Netherlands after the Second World War. It grew in different phases from 1883 until 1988, when production was closed down for economical and political reasons. The future of the complex was uncertain for a long time after the closure of the flour factory in 1988. The developer Ab van der Wiel bought De Meelfabriek complex in 1998 in order to preserve and redevelop it. In 2000 the complex was placed on the list of monuments. At the end of 2012, redevelopment to a design by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor was started. Upon completion, the complex will include living space, catering, office and exhibition spaces.
